Well Looky Looky
I was going through the usual billion or so photos to find ten or fifteen I could make some smart ass remark about in Random Photos when I stumbled upon this gem. Now, you might be saying to yourself, "what is the big deal about a photo of the KneePad Queen Diane Sawyer?" Normally nothing.
However, this particular photo was taken as Diane Sawyer was leaving the baby shower of Jennifer Lopez. Yep. The reporter who refused to ask any tough questions got invited to the baby shower of the interviewee. I'm sure there were some wonderful gift bags given away at the shower, but I am hoping that some shred of journalistic ethics found their way into Diane Sawyer's mind and that it would have been too much like journalism for sale if she took one on the way out. I bet she did buy Jennifer a gift though and Jennifer was probably telling Dina e how grateful she was for not having to answer any question about her pregnancy on the air.
Diane then would have got off her knees or finished bowing or whatever she does when she is in front of the people whose ass she kisses. But, then Katie Holmes walked through a side door, so Diane had to get back down on her knees. Unfortunately Larry King beat her to Katie Holmes.
Why on earth would Diane Sawyer go to this shower? Is she deluding herself into thinking she asked tough questions? Isn't this going to make it even tougher to ever ask any meaningful question at any point in the future? Is it all so she can have the first "interview" after the twins are born? Is it because her husband wants them in a film? I used to respect Diane Sawyer. Now. Not so much.
