“A platonic love tale set in the halls of power, where ‘fuck off’ means ‘I love you’…”

posted by on October 26 at 15:23 PM

Don’t miss Laurel Maury’s excellent review of Tony Blair’s press secretary’s journals in this week’s Stranger.

You won’t understand much of it unless you’re a complete political junkie, and it’s full of British terms that make no sense. But there are four reasons to read it: (1) It shows how skilled politicians work; (2) it shows what a lot of fruitcakes world leaders are (Clinton and Yeltsin comparing foot size, Gadhafi painting his fingernails, etc.); (3) Diana appears; and (4) it could get you laid.

Wait—what? Laid? Laurel Maury explains.

Are you sure you don't mean "How to get laid if you are an elected official"?

typical stranger-esque attempt at a stupid transgressive "hook" for the article. woulda been much better without the tacked-on pandering.
