Keeping Tabs on the Tabloids

The early deaths of 1970's icon Farrah Fawcett and pop star Michael Jackson on Thursday unleashed enough entertainment-industry headlines to almost make us forget the name Mir Hossein Mousavi.
But lest Hollywood tabloid overshadow the uppity Woman Up women's summer preference for political tabloid, I'd like to note the following: South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said he had his "own ticket" to Buenos Aires last week to attend to his sacking of the woman now identified as Maria Belen Chapur. But on the chief executive's previous visit last June, he took advantage of a bookkeeping technicality that allowed Sanford, famous for his "extravagant parsimony," to bill the South Carolina treasury. Last June's trip was for an official Commerce Department meeting, and Sanford has announced he will reimburse taxpayers for the portion of it deemed recreational.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
