Serious Day

Pat Buchanan Doused With Salad Dressing

On a day with such serious stuff in the news--Terri Schiavo's impending burial, the Pope's approach to death--journalists appear to be getting lazy about the small stuff. How can you write an article about Pat Buchanan being covered in dressing and not tell what kind? The image of this incident won't be complete for me until I know whether we're talking creamy ranch, a bright red French, or an oily vinaigrette.

Personally, I'd go with the French. Seems ironic, somehow, and shows up better on camera...
