Spectator Sport

S.Z. at World O'Crap (quoting the Washington Post) has the latest rogering recap from the U.K. Spectator:

Extramarital affairs that turn excruciatingly public seem to be an ongoing theme at the Spectator. Recent newspaper reports revealed that the magazine's editor, Boris Johnson, a Conservative member of Parliament who is married and has four children, had conducted a long-running affair with columnist Petronella Wyatt. Meanwhile, Rod Liddle, 44, an associate editor, left his wife for Alicia Munckton, a 23-year-old receptionist at the magazine. Liddle, Munckton and Liddle's estranged spouse, Rachel Royce, 42, have all written extensively about these affairs in various newspapers.

That's why blogs will never replace the mainstream media: No one to screw.

And, of course, nothing like that went on the American Spectator, unless you count Emmett Tyrell constantly deflating and reinflating the pneumatically-correct H.L. Mencken blow-up doll.

P.S. to S.Z.: The actual explanation for Mark Steyn's disappearance is that Conrad Black has sold him to some Saudi Arabian businessmen as part of his efforts to pay off the George Galloway judgment.
