Short Cuts

The Devil's Details: The ever vivid London Sun is chock full of the gory details of the last few minutes of the life of the monster's spawn. Uday and Quesay Saddam had changed their appearance (or tried to)with beards, shaved heads and Uday's prominent teeth didn't make it through the siege. Appropriately, they died in the john.

Somebody Tell Dr. Ruth: We point out this information only because every important gossip column on the East coast has picked it up. It seems, in a rather tasteless attempt to publicize her new TV show, relatively unknown actress, Mrs. Ali Wentworth Stephanopoulos felt the need to tell us that she and the former Clintonista have sex twice a day. No wonder his Sunday morning show is tanking. He's exhausted.

Accentuate the Negative: A big fat report from a think-tank confirms what we knew all along. The media slants left. Howard Kurtz in the WaPo reports the cold, hard numbers from the Council for Excellence in Government that show that the media gave Clinton a cushy ride and routinely jumps ugly on Bush. Let's hear some more from the money bags behind Algore who want to do something about the VRWC's dominance of the airwaves. We're listening.

Drama Nanny: New York's sniffily dismissive and hopefully one-term Mayor Michael Bloomberg rushed to the microphone to out-Rudy yesterday's bizarre shooting at City Hall. Bloomberg, who apparently had been mirror-rehearsing the line for some future disaster spluttered, "This is an attack at the heart of democracy." (No, it was the work on a lone wack-job.) Bloomberg then reappeared to tell New Yorkers ”this has been the worst day of my 61 years." Smoke 'em if you got 'em, Bloomie, there could be more.
