Always Looking at Things From the Blight Side

While reading the “It’s NBC and Cable Guys” article by Greg Braxton and Susan King (Sept. 9), I came across this (take a breath):

“She’s been pessimistic about her chances, partly because she’d been nominated three times previously for ‘Mad About You’ without winning, partly because she was dubbed the favorite this year after Candice Bergen, who won last year for ‘Murphy Brown,’ decided not to enter the competition.”

Are your writers in some kind of “Dark and Stormy Night” contest or what?
