Time For a Cable News Ethics Panel

I noticed this too yesterday on Hardball, Margaret Carlson was going on and on about Fred Thompson without mentioning anything about some particular rumors that she may have been dating him.

On the Republican side, Sen. Fred Thompson is said to have hurt his vice-presidential chances when his name was linked romantically to that of Margaret Carlson. The Time columnist and "Capital Gang" regular is reportedly too liberal for George W. Bush. Thompson's standing was not enhanced when gossips said he was simultaneously involved with another woman.

This is the same woman who has no problem talking about Bill Clinton's sex life and how he hasn't learned his lesson yet.

Has she?

Short answer: no.

(on a related note, James Carville is working for the Hillary Clinton campaign, and as such shouldn't be commenting on the 2008 race without disclosing that fact.
