Overkill, anyone?

The FG confesses that she took a wee vacation from the news while on vacation (although the CBC did its best to break through with endless tales of the 50,000 Canadians in Lebanon), but now that she's back, she's catching up.

She gathered that Anderson Cooper, the Grey Haired Darling, had crossed the Atlantic, and that John Roberts (also grey haired, but less of a media darling, after failing to be tapped to replace Dan Rather. Note that he used to be JD Roberts of CHUM FM and MuchMusic.) But this is ridiculous. Who's left to cover ... I don't know, the war in Iraq? The EU agreeing to fund embryonic stem cell research? The ABA's objection to the President's penchant for ignoring laws he doesn't like? Anyone? I hear Star Jones is available ...
