Media Blather

The following is a quote from Allessandra Stanley's article "True or False: Everyone Looks 10 Pounds Guiltier on TV" in today's New York Times, about the recent media appearances by John Edwards related to his disclosed affair.  I thought it was fairly insightful, if a bit mean-spirited.
 
"Narcissism doesn't lead politicians to believe that they can have an affair and get away with it. It leads them to believe that they can go on television and dispel it. "
 
It's an interesting read: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/weekinreview/10stanley.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
