News: July 2004 Archives
So the New York Post made a huge mistake and announced that Senator Kerry had chosen Representative Gephardt as his running-mate, when in fact he has selected Senator Edwards. Yes, it's a big deal, but it's also interesting to note how many bloggers are nearly ecstatic over the error.
Ok, so maybe not everyone is "ecstatic", but this is still the widest coverage I've ever seen any story get in the blogosphere.
[I started linking to various crowing posts, but became exhausted when I realized I could never do an exhaustive listing.]
Update:
Meanwhile, Drudge reports that:
DISNEY CHAIRMAN MITCHELL CONSULTED KERRY ON RUNNING MATEUpdate 2:Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry quietly consulted with DISNEY Chairman George Mitchell over vice presidential picks, it has been learned.
Kerry reached out to Mitchell for advice and counsel on VP options, sources explain. The DISNEY chairman's responsibilities include the ABC-TV Network and ABCNEWS...
I also love all the pictures of Kerry with various politicians who look like they're about to kiss.
Wow, in an utterly unsurprising move John Kerry has chosen John Edwards to be his running mate. Didn't it feel like Mr. Edwards was positioning himself for this role from the very beginning? Anyway, I find it hard to care very much.
Even though all my family on the Hill denies it, my hunch is still that Dick Cheney will step down as President Bush's running mate and we'll get a real surprise at the Republican convention that will totally eclipse these two Johns.
[Insert obligatory Independence Day post here.]
Sorry, I'm too busy celebrating to write a long and involved post. Everyone knows how great America is, so why do I have to say it?
Speaking of independence, I'm glad I don't live in Sweden! According to commenter "GLA radar service":

The New York Times is luring away some of the "best talent" from the Los Angeles Times. I'm not exactly sure how we'll be able to tell the difference....
The Times (L.A.) lost its fourth top reporter or editor to The Times (N.Y.) in a week yesterday when news emerged, via L.A. Weekly, that Michael Cieply, the paper's best known reporter/editor on the entertainment business beat, was heading East.
