I feel guilty - I sent in a tip to TMZ to check out Aaron Schock and got an email back from them that they would - a few days later he was on the show, now THIS.
Maybe they were planning this all along, but I hope it wasn't because of my tip.
While I certainly think we need more vigilant reporting on politics in DC, I fail to understand why we need cameramen jumping out of bushes and asking politicians about their "packages." Ug.
It it means breaking more stories like the Northern Trust party,yes. If it means stories about whether female politicians wear underwear, NOOOOO! And if it helps people who normally don't pay attention to politics get into politics, then it might be a good thing.
@linnyt is a walking cliché: I don't think they get how things work around here. I will laugh the day a camera crew goes running up to someone under secret service protection and an uzi gets pulled on them.
Do you know how hard it is to get around in this city already, what with the motorcades, and the secret service, and the body guards, and the fucking TOURISTS? We don't need anyone else who will take up precious sidewalk space and STAND ON THE LEFT.
@stoprobbers: When I am Dictatrix for Reals my first Benevolent act will be to make standing on the left a capital crime. Off with their heads! (Also TMZ will be bait for the alligators in my moat.)
