Wait, was Karl Rove in Boulder this week?

It's the best explanation for the way an incredible JonBenet Ramsey confession knocked real news off the air.

    Plain and simple,

    the mainstream media will do anything not to have to cover the real news. Pick apart a confessed murderer's story? Wow, where's that dang Pulitizer nomination form?

    Hey, it beats ticked off Tony Snow, Darth Cheney, et.al. to do real news. It beats having to wear out Prada heels (and whatever male hotshots wear) hotfooting it all over the capitol to ask "Why the f*ck aren't you thinking about impeaching this lame, corrupt bast*ard?! Why aren't you doing more for working Americans? About the gas crisis? Katrina victims? To really fight terror? To find Bin Laden?"

    Rove doesn't need to be there in Boulder, stirring up the ghosts of ineptitude past. He's got the asleep-at-the-wheel media to do the job for him. Boy, I can't wait til summer's over and Katie Couric can chime in from her new vanity desk...
