You're not the first to mention this; Matt Drudge's inbox was flooded with
complaints over the extent of coverage.  On his show last night Matt said Bloom
was as much a war casualty as Kelly, and I tend to agree.  Bloom got a lot more
coverage because he was much more widely known to the general public and of
course the broadcasting community.

Take care,
