Politics No Fisticuffs—Just Handcuffs
posted by on June 4 at 9:27 AM
There were no fisticuffs at last night’s Dem debate, per Eli’s post. But one pair of handcuffs were used. Eric Alterman, a columnist for The Nation, was arrested for apparently stealing a glass of white wine in a VIP room. Or something. Some are saying that Alterman’s arrest hurts his credibility. I say it ups his street cred, yo.
Maybe if it was a 40, and maybe if he didnt get caught. But I have to ask.. White wine? Journalists have gone soft. Whatever happened when all journalists were lushes and cynical drunks in search of the truth?
This is exactly the kind of edgy shit the Nation's been lacking. Though white whine? Babychops, you disappoint me...
Could be worse. It could've been a wine spritzer. Does anyone drink those anymore? Actually, don't tell me. I don't want to know.
SeMe, in an effort to regain our credibility our bosses - regrettably - have put the kibosh on all things drunky and sardonic. It's too bad, really. We still got stories back then. Now we get them and people just hate us more.
