David Pecker, American Media head and publisher of the Star, gives a fairly softball interview to WWD today. Let's summarize:

WWD: Aren't you just a tabloid published by trashy skanks?
Pecker: Totally! But we're raking in the fucking cash hand over fist, dude. So why don't you and your little fashion rag suck it through my very expensive jeans?

Pecker also claims that Star polygraphed its sources for the Mary-Kate Olsen rehab story. WTF? Ah, if only the NYT had thought of that for all its stories on WMD in Iraq...
