The governor and the beauty queen

Who cares?

Let me see if I have this right: The rumors that Gov. Ed Rendell was having an affair with one of his staffers, Kirstin Snow, a Glen Rock native, gained traction because someone took a photo of him having lunch with her and other staffers.

You know, it sounds like somebody needs a hobby.

This is almost beyond absurd. For one thing, who cares?

But seriously, it reflects the new media landscape. Journalists don't report rumors. That's what I always believed. That this became a story indicates how much our media is influenced by people reporting stuff on the Internet that may not be true, things that they just pull out of thin air.

It's ridiculous.

Finally, a real journalist who gets it. My family thanks you, Mike.

Amen.
