I Love My Dead Gay Republican Operative
NEWS QUIZ:
How do you cover this story:
a) A Republican consultant with ties to some of the most powerful men in Washington and who was involved with influencing 26 elections in countries across the world (in what associates say was a standard practice) died of a cocaine overdose last February.
or
b) DEAD GAY REPUBLICAN WAS FRIENDS WITH CARRIE FISHER!!!
If you said (b), congratulations! You're the lead story in the May 1 Arts and Leisure section!
(it's an interesting piece regardless of the irritating focus -- go read it and weep at the worldwide power of the wealthy -- conspiracy theorists will be heartened to know that a few well connected folks truly do control the world, or at least 18/26ths of it) |
