That was the advice given to Bob Woodward by secret sourceDeep Throat regarding the journalist’s investigation into the Watergate scandal, a scandal that ended with the resignation of a president. That was also the underlying scrutiny in a series of questions asked by a member of England’s Parliamentary committee looking into a scandal that, not unlike Watergate, began with one incident...

It is a dark time for the Rocket. Although he thought his critics had been destroyed, Imperial Congressional troops have driven the Rocket’s forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy and into a federal court. The Rocket now faces a group of Truth Fighters, led by Andy Pettitte, who are destined to expose the secrets held...

To borrow an expression from Glenn Beck, Ed Schultz has “a big, fat mouth.” The left-wing talker suspended himself from his own MSNBC show after calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut” on his radio program.

May is shaping up to be an incredible month for sex scandals, and we’re only half way through the month!

It’s a testament to Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin that I could not take my eyes off the screen sitting on a crowded flight from Boston to L.A.
