...joking aside, the American public has suffered a deluge of sex, scandal, gossip and embarrassment in the past year, and frankly it's getting a little old. Do we really think that McCain intentionally put an advertisement on a pornographic website? And, even if he did, should it matter? The presidential election should be based on issues, not the blips in character that make good sound bites or headlines...
...considerable ease considering the great diversity of styles. It's difficult to ascribe credit in this case because we don't know where Hutchence ends and his posthumous producing team begins.

...issue of race in the impeachment trial flared briefly, but died just as quickly because it had little merit. Indeed, the entire saga of Burton-centered controversies will most likely fade into the student body's collective consciousness. The best scandals (Watergate, the Teapot Dome) succeed because they contain kernels of truth. With regard to the council's controversy, members of the body are still unsure whether or not Driskell and Burton actually overspent their campaign limit. This scandal was based on vague half-truths, at best...
