Trumps says Stewart is "so pathetic" to think that they would ever replace him -- "who has the No. 1 show in the country" -- with her.

No. 1 reality show in a certain demographic during one summer hardly does a No. 1 show make. Ever heard of "CSI"? (Newsweek)

  • You've Come a Long Way, Tranny: MSNBC has a nice profile on a transsexual cyclist from Canada who is hoping to compete in the 2008 Olympics.
