Crimson Arts is starting to heat up just as the weather is about to cool down. Look for some spectacular interviews in the next couple of weeks... Uggh. Can either Bush or Gore pleeeeaassseee do something scandalous? This whole campaign has been a journalist's worst nightmare. Where's the fireworks? Warren Beatty totally should have run.
