...Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, CNN's promotions department went a different route in touting PAULA ZAHN, the new anchor of its own a.m. show. In a spot that aired on the network several times on Jan. 5 and 6, a male voice described Zahn as "provocative, supersmart and, oh yeah, just a little sexy." The last word seemed to be accompanied by the sound of a zipper. News executives said no one on their side had been consulted, nor had Zahn herself. The ad was pulled first thing Monday. Calling the ad a "major blunder," CNN chairman Walter...

...question why we've never been defeated by this little den of evil that rests on our shores, but in case someone missed it, any federal agency that trains any group of killing machines is evil. The Diplomatic Security Service messed up and picked the wrong guy, the supersmart guy to take the fall for them, this time, like always.
