...unusually bitter retort for a man who for years has called the media "my base." Later, on the plane to Columbia, S.C., McCain trudged to Nagourney's seat, miming an exaggeratedly shamed face. His wife Cindy had sent him to apologize for being rude, he said. "A thousand pardons," he asked. But the conversation turned into another round of the same debate. McCain had said he was sorry for not calling the press corps once he knew the King show released a transcript a few hours before it aired. That's not good enough, a reporter argued, "You told...

"You lower yourself dancing with that mulatta," Ana Luisa sneers, to which her color-blind beau replies, "It was God's decision that she's of mixed race." Ana Luisa also...
...actor - now has two audiences: the one he or she is addressing and the one that will eventually read the blogs or see the viral video. A few have adapted, like Stephen Colbert, whose routine at last year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner was decried by attendees as rude and shrill - but made him a hero to his YouTube audience. Imus, a 30-plus-year veteran of radio shock, seemed to underestimate the power of the modern umbrage-amplification machine. The day after his remarks, Imus said dismissively on air that people needed to relax about "some idiot comment...
