These things just aren't news, and stories like this should be relegated to Vanity Fair, and not CNN!!

Ted Turner is a lot of things, but one thing he isn't is anything near the pithy description above. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Turner" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Turner</a>

Originally Posted By gadzuux The two couples DO make a stark contrast, don't they?

As a Clinton 'first daughter', she's been exemplary for the entirety of her life. Always coloring within the lines, never a brush of scandal or questionable associations. Likely she's hoping to run for something someday and so is tiptoeing through her life very carefully. But you can't do that forever. Lots of people try, but the real world always eventually overtakes you. Just look at Bristol and Levi.

I wonder when he has time and energy to do all of this, what with all the effort he's putting into the abstinence-only education programs? <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20407608,00.html?hpt=T2" target="_blank">http://www.people.com/people/a...l?hpt=T2</a>

Originally Posted By DAR I'm still here, I haven't changed nor do I plan on it. Believe it or not, it's okay to agree with me once in awhile.
