It's come to our attention that our fortress of gossip, the New York Times, is expanding their dishy coverage during the forthcoming apocalypse Republican National Convention. Yes, as if the stunning "Boldface Names" beat weren't enough, the grizzled paper is planning a special-edition column for RNC week entitled "Pink Elephants." Watch out, Lloyd Grove, this one's going to be nipping at your heels.

We sincerely doubt the ability of the Times to report anything particularly scoopy, but a special pseudo-gossip column that identifies Republicans in the pink? Terrific and timely!
