Manufactured journalism and Jeff Gannon
#2
In re the Lewinski affair, George Carlin spoke to the manner in which standards have been lowered.

"JFK had Marilyn Monroe. Bill Clinton stuck his dick in a government clerk."

If I may summon the requisite audacity to paraphrase the master:

In terms of presidential blackmail, we've gone from Ellen Rometsch to Jeff Gannon.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go poke out my mind's eye.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
-- James Lee Burke, Rain Gods

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless.  All you can do is control them or eliminate them.  Innocence is a kind of insanity.
-- Graham Greene
