NBC’s Matt Lauer: Good Thing 'Piñata' Alberto Gonzales Forced Out NewsBusters.org:

"'James, you know, Ari's talking about the venom in Washington right now
and when it comes right down to it, strange dynamic, an only-in-Washington
story. There are a lot of Democrats who just victimized and villainized Alberto
Gonzales over these last eight months, but when it comes right down to it this
morning, are not all that happy he's gone, because in some ways they've lost a
piñata, haven't they?'"

It is going to be hard to find outrage about this because Gonzales himself has been so unpopular. That aside, as I pointed out with Andy Rooney's comments. Hispanics do not have the muscle in the current political environment to create a stir about this.

Amy Polumbo Blackmail Photos Released. And Boring. - The Hollywood Gossip

Amy Polumbo Blackmail Photos Released. And Boring. - The Hollywood Gossip:

"On the Today show, Polumbo sat down with Matt Lauer and calmly explained the
motivation behind each of the tame photos below. While the beauty queen is
drinking alcohol in some of the pictures, she says she was over 21 at the
time they were taken. "

I think this is all a giant publicity stunt, and a good one. Who in the world cared about who Miss New Jersey was (ok maybe people in New Jersey might have). Put out the word that some dirty pictures of the beauty are out there and the scramble to discover what they might be and interest in her shoots up due to the Miss America scandal last year. It was done wonderfully, because she then went on the Today show and showed pictures that are so lame, I have done worse things than those - god I hope there aren't any pictures.

John Travolta Is Wretched

A Socialite's Life: John Travolta Is Wretched

"John Travolta blames Virginia Tech, Columbine and all the other tragic school
shootings not on the psychos who committed the heinous acts - but on psychiatric
drugs. 'I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is
not gun control. It is [psychotropic] drugs at the bottom of it,' Travolta told
W. But the 'Hairspray' film star won't be jumping on couches over the issue or
attacking Matt Lauer as his fellow Scientologist, Tom Cruise, did last year: 'I
don't disagree with anything Tom says. How would I have presented it? Maybe
differently than how he did, but it doesn't matter.'"

Looks like John wants to impress the public, by showing everyone that he can be as crazy as Tom Cruise. I wonder if he can be as gay as Tom.
