This, except I was at work for the whole weekend, not on a beach.
The new is always fascinating, and the Palin coverage was new. I just think that the news producers were sitting there going, we could cover this minor slip up that McCain made, or this one from Biden/Obama, or we could cover the NEW vice presidential nominee's potentially scandalous history. What do you think they would go for? The media craves any scandal.
