Re: election - delete if not interested

Bingo.  You hit the nail on the head, Jim.  Dog bites man is not news.  Man bites dog IS news.

Gotta keep it short... I'm learning the GIMP.

The answer to this is to look at history:

Eisenhower had his "secretary"

JFK boffed anything with skirts--in or out of the white house (Maybe thats
why he had a bad back!)

Johnson had "friends" all over.

etc. etc.

The difference is that in times past the media was respectful of privacy.
Now anything goes--just to get a story and beat the competition.  Don't even
have to have the facts right--just print something.

Welcome to the 21st century
