In another era, half-hour politicals were common in the week leading
up to the election.
Meanwhile, once again a post gets soiled by the racist Drudgies. I
realize that Hibberd's bosses wouldn't allow him, but when any show
biz blog gets Drudged, they should turn off the comments immediately.
Even better, they should tell Drudge that he can't link to them
because they're sick and tired of his ignorant, illiterate moron
audience dumping their feces on their blog every time.
