<Gossip of any kind is nothing less than character assassination, and when it comes from "an unknown source," > yet you do it all the time! LOL And the biggest offenders in the media over the election has been the Republican smear machine. < For some twisted reason, people enjoy wallowing in sharing and spreading the gossip they hear, but they perpetuate the character assassination, as a result... > Exactly... just look at FOX NEWS ratings... as well as Limbaugh and the "LEFT WING NUT" version of their talk radio. dAK

Re: "you can defend anonymous gossip all you like" Sorry, GZ, but you've got me wrong. I never once 'defended anonymous gossip'... I simply made the factual observation that it is extremely common to heavily rely upon 'unnamed sources' on 'deep background' in political stories out of Washington, and has been for many years now. Where 'ya been for the past 30-odd years? <g> (It is in no way a 'defense' to simply notice how extremely COMMON something is.)
