Matthews: but who’s going to fact-check -- not bloggers!!

Klein: we fact-check but Time.com doesn’t fact-check me, thank god

Brown: you can fact-check online stupid

Klein: our readers fact-check us - it turns out we’ve been printing lies all this time!

Borger: in ten years newspapers will be downloaded digitally into our brains

Klein: I like print papers so the elites will tell me what I need to know

Borger: former editors of the Wall Street Journal

Brown: individual bloggers - they’re actually pretty smart

Borger: but Tina we can’t rely on lonely shut-ins

Klein: we’re going to miss the banter in the newspaper coffee room like when people say ‘hey joe you may be a moron and liar but at least you’re not a stinking blogger’ and then we all give each other high-fives

Matthews: who will write the most interesting book to come out of the Bush administration?

Brown: Women are going to want see if Condi Rice will admit she was wrong all this time

Woodward: Bush’s memoir will be riveting - but no women will read Donald Rumsfeld

Matthews: but women will find him so sexy!

Klein: Cheney will spill his dark psychoses for all the world to see and reveal that Bush was a nazi-fascist-socialist-commie who was soft on torture like he once balked about pulling a suspect’s eyes out with an oyster fork

Matthews: well you gotta get a tough on terrorists

Klein: no, this person was suspected of wearing a Kerry shirt to a Bush town hall

Matthews: ha what a great story

Matthews: Tell me some news!

Brown: newsgathering online is better than crappy papers

Woodward: George W. Bush is going to be finally vindicated in his wonderful riveting new autobiography

Borger: the GOP will stage a resurgence I’m sure of it

Matthews: wow - how will they do it?!

Borger: I have no fucking idea

Klein: you have to see ‘Afghan Idol ‘- they have a nasty British guy, a loopy woman and an incoherent guy who says “yo”

Matthews: wow it’s like the royal family in the 19th century all over again
