On Wednesday afternoon, Gawker released a flirtatious email correspondence between New York Rep. Christopher Lee, a married U.S. congressman, and a woman he linked up with through Craigslist's personals page. Gawker got the emails, which included a photo of a shirtless Lee flexing, from the woman.

By Wednesday evening, Lee had resigned his seat.

Maureen O'Connor, who wrote the story, was on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' (Weeknights, 9PM ET on CNN), where she said she was taken aback by how quickly Lee resigned.

Morning news shows are a goldmine of cringe-inducing moments and epic fail goodness. The title alone makes me laugh because only half of it is accurate due to the fact that it airs in the morning.

By far the unintentionally funniest show is that morning cup of crazy on Fox News, Fox and Friends. They truly cover news stories that no one else does as their on-air promos suggest because no one in their right mind would consider it news. I'm finally starting to understand Walter Cronkite's distrust of the 24-hour news network model: you'll call anything news to fill time.

Hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade actually took President Barack Obama to task for ordering a Budweiser instead of an American-brewed beer during his recent "Beer Summit" with Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley.

This clip is worth it for the reaction of Gawker editor Emily Gould. She seems completely shocked and unprepared.

Jimmy Kimmel was guest host on Larry King Live on Friday night, and the topic was gossip, celebrity stalking, and the various celeb mags and web sites. Though usually irreverent, Kimmel was dead serious about confronting Gould about the many false or mistaken sightings that readers (or as Gould calls them, "citizen journalists," gag) sent into Gawker Stalker.

Gawker's "Gawker Stalker" feature has been getting a lot of heat lately, especially since you can now see these celeb sightings on a handy map. Hollywood is starting to "fight back," if you will, and it's George Clooney who might lead that attack.

"There is a simple way to render these guys useless. Flood their web site with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this web site is worthless."

Who knows if Clooney really said this (after that whole Huffington Post controversy), but a commentor brings up a good point: how do we know that the sightings they have up their now are even real? I'm sure some are real, but what kind of checking could anyone possibly do on something like this?

Update: It's real, and it might be working. Looks like some of Gawker's sighting have proven to be fake.
