Who would have thought that chivalry would still be alive at the liberal Associated Press? Yet in its story on the split between Larry and Laurie David, the venerable wire agency states the age, 59, of the creator of Seinfeld, but not that of his activist wife, producer of Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth."Isn't the feminist AP the home of strong women, proud of every wrinkle?
For the record, Laurie hits the half-century mark next March . . . unless of course a global-warming catastrophe stops the clock for all of us before then.
Note: The story ends by informing us that in April, Laurie "accompanied singer Sheryl Crow on a college tour to raise awareness about climate change." Could AP be trying to suggest some kind of cause and effect?

More-so sloppy reporting than a liberal bias.
That said, I'm still glad it's at least presented to us so we can make our own judgement call.

June 6, 2007 - 15:07 ET by Mark FinkelsteinYou'll note I placed the story in the "humor" category. Not meant to be too serious on a relatively slow news day.

June 6, 2007 - 17:17 ET by Ken ShepherdPerhaps we should amend our mission statement to note that while our primary purpose is "exposing and combating" liberal media bias, our posts may diverge from that strict mission from time to time, delving into other aspects of media, including social commentary and satire.

It's already disclaimed as humor, it was my mistake to miss that tag. I think we can agree that the legal necessity of disclaimers and qualifiers and caveats and provisos in the world today is already absurd.
I don't want to give the impression that I'm against levity by any means. A joke is a joke whether it was easily recognizable as such to one person or not... I just need to improve my reading comprehension. Again, my apologies.

June 6, 2007 - 21:24 ET by Conrad5Global warming apparently doesn’t affect everyone equally. I think Larry’s television wife looks much hotter than his real one.

June 7, 2007 - 00:27 ET by SportPoliticsShe is hot for her age, and he is looking way too old for 59.
Laurie David?

I'm just not very hip on her street cred, I guess.

June 7, 2007 - 00:37 ET by daveinbocaWonder if Ms. David has something going for the younger prettier smarter [and Sheryl ain't smart!] Ms. Crow? Talk about a bow-wow chasing a bi-yotch!

June 7, 2007 - 09:39 ET by goldenthroatMaybe Larry can take the gig as the new host of "The Price Is Right" and close the show by saying "Help control the game show host population by having Bob Barker spayed or neutered!'

Now, THAT'S appropriate!
