Now, That's Journalism!
Here's the dilemma: You feel the coronations are in place, for Obama and McCain, but Clinton hangs around despite the surest signs it's over: No, not the announcement of the nomination. The pronouncement of (say with reverence and awe) Tim Russert! And still, you have to report on something.

May 14 article, referencing the Dead Parrot sketch from the Flying Circus TV series.
