Good article. It was as though, he said, "there's something you don't want to watch on your favorite channel but you know it'll be over. Every now and then you flip over to see, 'Hey, is that thing off yet? C'mon already.' " Agreed. A friend of mine who was mildly interested in the MSNBC, Fox News and CNN debates on impeachment, suddenly found himself facing a lay-off in his company. Caught in his problems, he stopped watching the impeachment drama for a few weeks. When he eventually found out that his job was secure, at least for the time being, he came back to the TV set and found to his exasperation that these IDIOTS are still talking about the same darned thing! (His actual comments were a more direct, "WHAT???? They're still showing this SHIT????" :-)) And the following excerpt reminded me of Bateman's line : "Guess what? Nobody cares! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" So what else? Who cares?" said Garment, a lawyer here, as he described the attitude today. "That's the general sentiment." A lone sign-toting protester who appeared outside the White House this week was gone by Friday, when Cassie Waite, 15, jostled with her ninth-grade government class for a smiling photograph against the tall iron fence. Visiting from McKeesport, Pa., she had expected to see at least some demonstrators handing out leaflets, but instead saw only badged Government workers and tourists strolling. "It's on the news constantly, and it makes it seem like everything's going on here," Cassie said. "And we get here -- and there's nothing. People are going on about their lives."
