Amusing if unsurprising.

News priorities?
Or is it possibly, the recognition that the NSA wiretap case is going absolutely nowhere once it hits the appeals courts? I suspect that at least part of the reason for the silence on that particular story is a desire to minimize the damage that that story will eventually cause the democrats, once it gets overturned again.
