Pussy Abhor
2008-05-22 12:40:00 Page Six: Did Lesley Stahl crack an inappropriate sex joke during her commencement speech at Jesuit-run Loyola College? A witness tells us the "60 Minutes" correspondent jolted the crowd of proud moms and dads last weekend by using the word "pusillanimous," adding that it "doesn't have anything to do with p - - - y." (The word means lacking in courage). Stahl claimed through a CBS spokesman she actually said "pussycat." An excerpt from her speech posted on Loyola's Web site doesn't include the contested remark. Asked to clarify what Stahl said, a Loyala rep told us, "We have no interest in commenting." She declined to release the rest of the tape.

CBS News: They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
2008-04-24 16:43:00 It is time for CBS News to be put down, in the Old Yeller sense of the phrase. It's time to turn out the lights and just start airing Hollywood gossip at 6:30 p.m. The network could follow Schieffer's lead and simply dissolve the thing after the inauguration, maybe keeping 60 Minutes around, either as a commercial-free public service program (because what exec doesn't love a prestige-hogging loss leader?) or under the auspices of CBS' entertainment division (because why keep pretending?). The farewell would be handled with dignified pomp?tributes to Murrow and Severeid and so forth. And if Walter Cronkite is in good health, he could do the honors with a final sign off. I'm serious. That's how bad things are, and that's the way it is. Troy Patterson Slate "Dead Air. Why CBS Should Shutter Its News Division"Dorothy Maguire as Katie Coates "Old Yeller" 1957: "If that don't beat all. I never saw such a dog."

Leslie Stahl: Worst Journalist Ever?
2008-03-31 01:58:00 On CBS tonight, Leslie Stahl just interviewed Al Gore on 60 minutes. This was the most obnoxious softball interview I have ever viewed in my entire life. She did not challenge Al Gore once, and she did absolutely NO research before this interview began. How can a journalist do no research before giving an interview? Think about the number of recent news stories regarding global warming. No... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story.
White Men Don't Hump
2008-03-13 14:10:00 It's their birthright to indulge and justify risky sexless gloveless oral sex. NBC still refuses to employ the "D-word" (not Dick) in tagging Eliot Spitzer. ABC News coughed it up last night. So did Katie Couric. NewsBusters The Washington Post sprawls prone on a shrink's couch to justify Spitzer's behavior. The whole point of males' often-risky efforts to achieve power, resources and prestige was to translate status into sex with more women. You run the tribe, you get dibs. That's the way it worked in hunter-gatherer cultures, most of which, Shackelford says, were polygamous. Nearly all men, in every age, wanted sex with multiple partners, but only the leaders could (a) attract additional partners and (b) have the resources to provide for them. "It's a relatively new development for men to be vilified for reaping what would have been ancestral rewards for power and prestige." "Men such as those in Spitzer's position do not so much pay for women to have sex with them; the...

Stahl Tactics
2008-03-06 12:04:00 CBS News grande dame Lesley Stahl and four other "women of a certain age" split one million bucks five ways to launch a social networking website with four other female titans aimed at women over 40. "Women On The Web" or WowOWow.com. Ms. Stahl suggested adopting a name that incorporated the word ?broad,? like broad-minded, but there were objections to that too. NYTThe snarky youngsters at Gawker dismiss the women ranging from 57 to 85 as "five old media blondes." Gawker's callow "Night Editor" Ryan Tate's lame, pedestrian attempts at humor: MenopausalPost.com Women.OfACertainRage.com FaceliftsBook.com HuffyOldPost.com OleBiddies.com WeAllDyeOurHair.com Here.ALinkFromMom.com Ryan: How about HotFlash.com? The ladies had to wrest the "Women On The Web" domain from purveyors of porn. WowOWow is interactive already before Saturday's kick off with the question of the day: If you could choose any women in the world, living or dead, which four faces would you put on Mount Rushmore?Lemme...

Stahl Tactics
2007-10-29 21:09:00 CBS News pimps yesterday's "60 Minutes" walkout by French prez Sarkozy after Lesley Stahl dug into his personal life.

CBS 60 Minutes: French President Nicolas Sarkozy Storms Out of Interview wi
2007-10-29 01:30:00 Tonight on CBS, Lesley Stahl interviewed French President Nicolas Sarkozy on 60 Minutes. Sarkozy is a very impressive leader. Notably, he is pro-American, something America has not seen from a French President in decades. In fact, he is so supportive of America and American work ethic that the French people call him ?Sarko the American.? According to Sarkozy, people only get what they are...

Bob Dylan, Indian Chiefs and Lesley Stahl?s Body
