PAJAMAGATE

This week, CBS News found itself up to its sphincter in a journalistic quagmire that threatened to annihilate any confidence the public had in it. Responding to questions about some memo kerfuffle, former 60 Minutes news exec Jonathon Klein urinated on the blogosphere, splattering your average blogger as "a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing."

So far, despite a media hurricane, Mr. Klein has neither apologized nor offered any evidence to back up his totally unprofessional charges. Since CBS News has apparently abandoned any pretense at journalistic standards, yours truly took it upon himself to shrug on a pair of semi-fresh boxers and poll my fellow webrats about their typical blogging ensemble. Are you listening, Mr. Klein?
