Thus was the reaction of a co-worker when he saw yesterday's cover of the New York Post. Because, ZOMG, a reporter in Iraq, who's going through a divorce, got it on with a colleague (who fought for her honor!) and with a civilian contractor!
My co-worker theorized that the only reason the Post put this on their cover was that it gave them a chance to put a hot blonde on their cover, and there were no new developments in the Christie Brinkley divorce nor in the Eliot Spitzer prostitution sting (that one allowed for a parade of babes-in-bikinis on the cover). I suggested that the "Sexty Minutes" pun, as well, was irresistible.
But check the "sourcing" on this: not only did some of the information come from the divorce lawyer of the contractor's wife, calling Logan a homewrecker, but there's this little gem buried down in the story:
As for the other claims, pals admitted that Logan had a one-time fling with CNN reporter Ware - but denied that there was any sort of fight between him and Burkett in Baghdad.Kinda says it all, doesn't it?
"There was no screaming match," the pal said.
Tale of the love fight first broke on the freerepublic.com in December.
UPDATE: Digby has more. She theorizes that this particular bit of coverage is an effort to discredit Logan, who told Jon Stewart earlier this week that she would "blow [her] brains out" if she had to watch the coverage of the war that's shown in the US because it would "drive [her] nuts" due to its banality. And then within days, the Murdoch media is dragging something out of the Freeper swamp that's been sitting there for seven or eight months.
