Media-Whore's D'Oevres



"Let's face it: Al Gore was right about a great many things. Specifically, the former Vice President of the United States criticized America's overheated media coverage of 'celebutards' as a national distraction. The fact that this criticism was coming from a man who gave up the presidency and founded a start-up news organization -- Current TV -- for The Attention Deficit Generation was particularly galling to those of us who can handle our panty-less Lindsay Lohan photos, thank you very much. We can quit the celebri-smack anytime we want to (cough, cough); we just don't want to right now, okay?! How dare Gore. And so, we just dismissed him as a cranky ex-Vice turned narc, harshing on our mellow." (Ron Mwangaguhunga on HuffingtonPost)

"Which married-with-kids film star was out picking up women in L.A. Saturday night? Says a tipster: 'The hilarious part is that you can see he's got a designer baby seat in the back of his car while he's hitting on my friend.'" (Gatecrasher)

"Technorati is always full of quiet, unexpected surprises, thanks to its list of most popular search terms. Often, these are predictible: Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, iPhone. But just as often, they are unpredictible: Steorn, Hummer Winblad, Cathy Siepp. And, today: Ron Paul." (HuffPo)

Ron Paul has been near the top of Technorati's search list for many weeks, ever since his showdown with Rudy Guiliani over American foreign policy in the South Carolina debates.
