GOSSIP TIP
For those of you who cannot get enough of Palin debunking, the prime site is Andrew Sullivan's blog [google it]. Sullivan, a bright, articulate, gay conservative having serious problems with the contemporary turn of the Republican Party [he supported Obama in the campaign] is obsessed with Palin -- her lies, the mystery surrounding the birth of her youngest child, Trig, her endless self-promotion. His latest post concerns the things that Levi Johnston [the father of Bristol's baby] has been saying about Palin. There is something deliciously low about reading Sullivan's endless ruminations about Palin -- rather like slumping in front of the tv eating Smorrs from the carton and watching reality shows. It has absolutely no redeeming value, which is to say it is political pornography. I, of course, would never read it. I just pass this along as a public service.
