>The giddy thrill over Miss South Carolina recalls a similar outbreak of hilarity earlier this summer over the horribly botched train wreck interview of Holly Hunter conducted by young, blond, female entertainment news anchor Merry Miller. "Look at the stupid chick! Whee! Yuk-yuk!"<
Miller (on a lesser scale) is symptomatic of the unthinking lazy journalists who have let the Bushies run roughshod without investigation or accountability. For Christ's sake, how hard could it be to do what was essentially a softball interview? Jeez, shouldn't an entertainment reporter at least be able to do the basics? And people are also sick of not-even-up-to-the-game types like Couric being passed off as if they are the second coming of Edward Murrow. No sympathy here.
