Dumbass anonymous source quote of the day
You all know how I love anonymous sources. Here's a gem from today's WaPo:Washington will host the 2007 WNBA All-Star Game, a source with knowledge of the situation said yesterday.Couldn't have waited until next Tuesday's press conference, huh? Couldn't have gotten someone to go on the record, huh? Just had to be first, didn't ya?

That is so pathetic!And there you have it.
