No, the big stories are about Sarah Palin's daughter getting preggers (not alot to do in an Alaskan winter....) and the husband to be getting a DUI TWO YEARS before they married and her husband showing some interest in Alaskan separatism.
As for Barry and Joe, misappropriation of funds from charities, bribery, fraud, influence peddling, etc. have no interest to the drive bys. No, the critical issue is a pregnant teen and thinking that Wash. DC was something to be separate from is all important.
