Far be it for me to judge but with all this talk about the financial struggles of news organizations maybe Time Inc. shouldn’t have paid $25 million ($25 freaking million) for 8 covers of People magazine. They paid Brad and Angelina $14 mill for their baby photos. Thats just stupid.

I think I’m going to have to break up the “stupidest story/comment of the campaign season” contest into two catogories, “Print” and “TV”. We’ve already got our leading contender for “Print” thanks to Amy Chozick, now Cokie Roberts steps up to the plate for “TV”. Here’s what Cokie said on Sunday’s This Week on ABC:

Talk about bad timing:
BEING a burglar is at best a risky job but two Melbourne men arrested last week were shocked to find police inside a house they had just broken into.
The detectives were in the middle of a drug raid and were just as surprised when they greeted the thieves, during the attempted midnight [...]

I’d like to submit this as a candidate for Top 5 dumbest moments of political “analysis” this primary season, courtesy of MSNBC’s David Shuster and Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: What’s so hard about doing a diner? I don’t get it. Why doesn’t he go in there and say, “Did you see the papers today? What do [...]

How stupid is the House Judiciary Committee? Here’s how stupid:
1. They set up a private email tipline for whistleblowers
2. They email the people who’ve sent in tips, ensuring privacy measures have been taken to protect them.
3. Said email has all the addresses in the “to” field rather then the “bcc” field, meaning everyone can see [...]
