Gawker went way too far this time, Jon Stewart hopes to do it up big in DC this weekend and, oh yeah, there's a big holiday this Sunday...do you know what you're going to be yet? I'm heading to LA in a couple of hours, but before I do, here's what I'm reading today...
1. A man with absolutely no morals sold a story to Gawker about his "one night stand" with Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell. Gawker, it seems, was trying to make a case against her. The plan backfired. First, the writer of the post, a coward under the name "anonymous" didn't really even have intercourse with O'Donnell, a minor detail that makes the title of the post completely insane. Even more insane? The fact that anonymous decided to disclose to millions of people his criticism of O'Donnell's grooming techniques (down there). It was indeed a completely sexist and slanderous post, even for Gawker, and ended up causing more harm to them than towards her, who is now being awarded loads of votes in the sympathy department.
