The Sound of the Crowd

Gannon fodder

You know, Garry Trudeau must be pissing himself about now. He breaks his collarbone and can’t draw Doonesbury just as the most fun scandal in years breaks.

  1. Gannon says he’s planning to sue blogs like Media Matters and AmericaBlog. Atrios asks what seems like an obvious question.

  1. Just call me part of the fifth estate. How it’s playing overseas, in this story from the Observer in the UK:

“The internet has become a sort of Fifth Estate as the Fourth Estate of the mainstream media has slid toward irrelevance.”

  1. I’m not a real Bill Maher fan, and he’s certainly no Trudeau, but every once in a while he comes up with a great line. Maher on Gannon: “Now I understand what President Bush meant when he said he had a man date.”

  1. John from AmericaBlog responds to a conservative’s eloquent defense of the male prostitute linked to the Bush administration.
