Nothing else going on in the world, lets have a front page story speculating about the Clinton's marriage/sex life.
Digby:
Democrats be advised: the press is a bunch of braindead robots who are uninterested in changing their puerile Democratic storyline even in the face of the most disasterous administration in American history. It's shocking. You can love Hillary or hate her, I don't care. But goddamit the intimate state of her marriage to Bill Clinton is nobody's business and it NEVER HAS BEEN. If the gossip rags want to play this game, there's nothing anyone can do. But it is just shameful thatthe New York Times would go back to their cheap, tabloid coverage of politics when the world is on fire. I'm honestly stunned that this is happening again....
... This stuff is done for no other reason than to make Democrats appear unserious, immoral and halfway nuts. There is a concerted effort coming from somewhere to create a drumbeat that when Democrats are in the spotlight the country is going to be back in trivial tabloid scandal land. It almost has the feeling of being a threat. The mainstream press, having apparently learned absolutely nothing from their failures of the last decade are obviously eager to put on their Heathers costumes and have a little bitch party. This time they need to hear from us. Here is the
page with all the email addresses for letters to the editor and to the
ombudsman. Let them know we aren't going to let this happen again without a fight. (emphisis mine)
Atrios has a lot to say about just how much they suck. I especially love this one.

OMG. Ruby reads the NYTimes each morning when I drop her off at her Aunties house. I saw this article when she reached for the front page today and wanted to rip it from her greasy little fingers and use it to pick up dog poop.
Ah, the liberal media.
