Should there be a moratorium on cutesy stories about gaffes until we know a little of what a political candidate represents? Not according to a spate of stories about Jean Pirro, a candidate for the Republican nomination to oppose Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Ms. Pirro apparently lost her place at a recent speech, pausing for half a minute as she looked for a missing page. If this article, among others, is to be believed, the event has attained almost epochal importance.
Whether Ms. Pirro has a realistic chance of unseating Sen. Clinton depends on whom you believe. But it seems that regardless of reality, the soap opera-like facets of this race are already beginning to emerge. It's politics as entertainment, and we are all the worse for it.
