Teppy- yes, I believe that Studio 60 is going to be in that same timeslot. (Medium fans are grumbling about it.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jeff Gannon fired from Washington Blade (a GLBT paper) [link]
I made the decision...Basically, my concern is that he has a huge credibility problem, for obvious reasons, and if a member of my staff lied about their identity, lied about their name, lied to their editors, lied to their sources, I would fire them. I wouldn't publish them.
And this has nothing to do with his political beliefs. Our oped pages will always be open to members of the community of all political stripes. I will be reaching out to different conservative voices to get those folks inside the paper...Their views will be reflected in our pages, but I just think we can find better people to represent those views.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Jeff Gannon fired from Washington Blade (a GLBT paper)
OK. I'll be the first to say it.
L'affaire Gannon was public knowledge when they hired him. Why didn't it matter then?

The Blade just hired a new manager or editor or something - one of the first things he did was fire Jeff.
eta:
Following Executive Editor Chris Crain's departure from The Washington Blade, the paper chose Kevin Naff as his replacement this week. One of Naff's first decisions was to sever ties with columnist Jeff Gannon.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Exactly. His credibility problems are nothing new. Of course, if the Blade wanted to get a little extra juice out of the scandal, I'm not surprised. Kate Moss went from making $7 million a year to $38 million this year after snorting coke for the cameras.
I want to be jaded. I want this shit to NOT bother me so much.

Dude...have got to acquire taste for cocaine. Of course the kind I could buy is "downscale" crack, that you actually get really arrested for. Not like(cough) awarded elections.
