IT’S FIVE MINUTES TO AIR. WHICH STORY DO YOU LEAD WITH?

[defrog]

Or, “What the Internets has been doing since I’ve been away”

1. Germany’s female police officers are being issued bullet-proof bras

2. US public still not ready to see naked ladies on TV

3. The FBI admits secretly spying on reporters

4. John Edwards blah blah blah.

5. A woman who had five pups cloned from her pit bull Booger was once accused of abducting a Mormon missionary in England, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave.

Business as usual, then.

PRODUCTION NOTE: You may have heard #4 already, although the US media being the responsible institution it is, I’m sure they’re too busy covering, oh, #3, or possibly the Russia/Georgia war to obsess over some story about another politician lying about having an affair. Because surely that’s not news. I’d rank the puppy-cloning Mormon-kidnapping dominatrix story over that one.

I could be wrong. In which case, I’m sure that the US media has been asking why, if this spells the end of Edwards’ political career (because as we all know, if you cheat of yr spouse, yr not qualified to be elected to office in America), John McCain is even running, seeing as how he did more or less the same thing 30 years ago.

That would only be fair.

BONUS MATERIAL: In case yr wondering what a bullet-proof bra looks like (puffdoggydaddy).



Not exactly a Madonna special, or a metal bikini. Apparently that’s the point – bras with wires or plastic bits can fragment under the impact of a bullet. (Obviously you would be wearing a bullet-proof vest over it.)

Otherwise, it looks like a basic cotton bra to me. Still, is it just me, or is that “Polizei” logo kinda hot?

Arrest me,

This is dF

Smirk! Calling me out there, bubba. HA!

The Edwards story got a blip on the national media stage. And he is making the rounds trying to get his side of the story out there. Seems to be taking his lumps instead of trying to dodge the story. Claims that the days aren't right for the child to be his. The mother is denying a paternity test that Edwards is claiming to be ready to take. Some shots of the mother have "crazy lady" written large on them. So, the jury is out.

Bullet proof bras... :/ ...wonder if they keep nips from showing through. :/

And now the news...My lead story would probably be the FBI story with the cloned puppies/Mormon missionary prisoner-sex slave story in the 2nd slot.

So far, one positive thing I've heard about the Edwards thing is that he actually went on TV and admitted it WITHOUT dragging his wife along with him in some silly show of "solidarity". Though for all I know Elizabeth is the one who said, Screw that, yr going on alone. Still, I have yet to see a credible argument as to why this a career ender for him but not for McCain, whose own marital transgressions were such that even the Reagans found it distasteful and wanted nothing to do with him.

The other good line, of course, is that at least Ann Coulter can't make any more gay jokes about him. :/

It'll take a few years for Edwards to get traction again in the political psyche. They aren't through tearing him down yet.

The McCain story when you read all of it is pretty disgusting and dishonorable when placed against his "war hero" image.

I'm very disappointed that the media hasn't done more in depth on that story.

Agreed completely. The fact that the media has entirely ignored the fact that when McCain came home from 'Nam and found that his trophy wife had been permanently scarred and disabled in a car crash, he started banging a beer heiress behind her back then eventually left her and made the beer heiress his new trophy wife so she could smile pretty for the cameras and finance his political career. It's a completely disgusting story and I want to know why the media has ignored that, but it has no problem with never completely denying that Obama is a Muslim.

... yes, bras with the word 'polizei' on them are extremely hot.

Dang!
