Revenge of the Bridesmaids Page #4

principles and rights

upon which our free press depends

was made far more difficult

by the choice of certain reporters

who shall remain unnamed

to capitulate to governmental pressure

and divulge their sources.

He's unbelievable.

He's wearing a bow tie.

Should I dud him?

I myself have, on occasion, felt tremendous

pressure to divulge unnamed sources,

but I've stood my ground, knowing that while

I may suffer for my principled stand,

there was a much greater issue at stake.

If I may?

Rory Gilmore, Yale Daily News.

While I agree that there is no

greater or more important tool

for a free press than confidential sources,

I also think it unwise for us to presume

from our limited experiences

editing college newspapers

that we really have any true understanding

of what it must feel like

when the federal government of the United

States puts the screws to you.

I just think it would be the height

of hubris for us to claim for fact

that we know what we would do when

faced with that kind of pressure.

But that's just one reporter's opinion.

We created her.

Out of thin air.

I just don't care how funny the picture is.

If it's not newsworthy-- and I

can't see how it would be--

I would not publish a picture of the

university president stuffing his face

with key lime pie at the

drama club bake sale.

I'm sure President Levin will

be pleased to hear that.

If someone pushed key lime pie in the

president's face as a statement,

that I would print.

Me, too-- front page.

Quentin, you agreed with me.

I didn't think you were capable.

On that collegial note,

I'm afraid we have to end our discussion.

I'd like to thank all our panelists

for a terrific discussion

and thank you all for coming.

Our girl's got skills.

She even had her arch rival laughing

with her by the end.

She's keeping her enemies close and giggling.

Very devious.

So?

If I had a cooler of Gatorade,

I'd pour it over your head.

Sounds refreshing. So, I was pretty good,

wasn't I?

You dazzled.

You totally wiped the floor

with Pompous Princeton Guy.

Well, the floor looked a little dirty.

So, can we take you out

for an ice-cream soda?

Sorry. I got to go.

We have this editors' mixer thing now.

Rain check?

Yeah, go. Mix well.

- Bye, hon.

- Bye.

We were just rain-checked.

Yep.

I don't know how I feel about that.

Okay, so I kept track, wrote 'em down.

I got 16 words that she used that

I have never heard before.

Perspicacious?

17 words that I have never heard before.

My god, she's smart.

She is smart. She's Anthony Michael

Hall in "Breakfast Club" smart.

I'm very proud and mystified.

Well, me, baby, all me.

Oh, it's my new nanny.
