More On Newsom

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom made a public statement yesterday saying that the allegations of an affair with his campaign manager's wife were true.

Ok, fine. He had the affair; and by having it with the spouse of his re-election chief Newsome proved his judgement is a bit lacking. But, as Arianna Huffington said yesterday, is it really "Breaking News?"

On a day when things in Iraq continued to spiral out of control, and on a day when ingelligence reports show the U.S. having very little control of Iraq, the Newsom affair is considered "breaking news?"

I can almost understand if the local San Francisco stations did it, but CNN?

Give me a break!
