And yes I understand that he likes to play the role of cool cat, popular loner, superstar jock but also artistic guy everyone wants to be around, like Christian Slater only a bit more sober, but he does work for David Brock, and so he is plugged right into the heart of Team Democrat in the great big political intramural party going on right now. The point is not that most of the leaks represent business as usual so they are not newsworthy. The point is that both parties play this shit all the time with the media and that's why everything is fucked up and getting worse all the time. No matter whether it's Clinton or not, it is always the same people with same agenda and the same priorities, none of which have anything to do with good governance. And that is news. Except that most all the "news" people are part of the problem to greater or lesser degrees. That's what makes this news: routine and business as usual in the political/media establishment is completely fucking divorced from the reality of almost every single human on the planet. That's news. And Duncan Black knows it even if he won't admit it. I mean, I hope he knows it. It would be pretty fucking awful for him if he couldn't or wouldn't.
Teh comments are pretty sad as well. For the most part it's like a Breitbart comment crew with better hygiene, so desperate to hang on to what they are sure is the truth and dismiss anything else with the pathetic cowardly sarcasm common to the feistiest dementia-patient residents of the second-grungiest old-folk's home in Teaneck, NJ.
