I'm curious!), but since I am the writer of that particular statement, I do feel qualified to suggest ways to react to it.<br /><br />1. Share your thoughts on the topic.<br />Or<br />2.

I lost some respect for Keith Olbermann when I discovered a couple years ago that he was dating a 23-year old. When you're 48 years old and only a 23 or 22-year old will do, IMO that's a pretty big statement about your attitude toward women.<br /><br />I don't think there will be much uncovering of conspiracy theories in this Journolist story.my name is Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484587200951022679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-47132058543759193972010-07-23T12:34:45.793-05:002010-07-23T12:34:45.793-05:00Is it because we can't buy a thrill?Is it because we can't buy a thrill?Night Writerhttp://thenightwriterblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-19926096543139752312010-07-23T11:22:18.177-05:002010-07-23T11:22:18.177-05:00Bravo, NW!
