That evening at Zeta Psi we had room-to-room tails. That meant that in every room, a different alcoholic beverage was being served. I remember my friend Walter (Waltered States) had a concoction that he called “Jersey Devils,” which was surprisingly good. He was totally bummed when he awoke after his first passing out, to discover that his top of the line Sennheiser headphones had disappeared. I passed out on his couch at about 3 am.
I don’t recall very clearly, but at some point I awoke from a very vivid sex dream in which I blew my wad, only to find what appeared to be the vague, backlit figures of Jim Rutenberg, Marilyn Thompson, David Kirkpatrick and Stephen Labaton . . . [tonguing my junk]. I hollered, and they skeedaddled out of the door.
Much of that evening long ago is sketchy. Still, we can’t discount the possibility that these writers for the NYT sucked me off in that fraternity room all those years ago. I know I’ve been haunted by the possibility since that time. And if I’m wrong, I offer a heartfelt apology to those people.
That’s so dark.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me, Dan, so it’s got to be them.
Kinda sure, anyway. I was pretty blasted on zombies, though, so lord only knows what really happened.
Purple haze all ’round my brain, latrly things don’t seem the same.

Lots of people have conjectured fantastic conspiracies about the liberal press. Now we know the real story.
It sure beats shape-shifting, reptilian aliens and Miss Marple reruns.
Christ.
Oh. Now that’s kind of hot when you put it like that.
We really are fucked, you know.
Come on now, who is surprised? When the everyone was sneering at Romney and saying only McCain could win and the same NYTimes actually endorsed McCain, many of us were stating that once McCain was nominated the press would turn on him.
Damn, I said over and over they’d bring up the Keating thing…and the NYSlimes leads off with a non-sex story.
It has as much basis as the Obama gay-lover one and I don’t see that in the Slimes’ Barry smoked a little weed in high school because of his heartbreak of black kid with no dad in search of himself.
So, where’s datadave to tell us again that the mainstream media is really conservative and not the fifth column of the Party of Asses?
I am sorry, Darleen, but the appearance of impropriety eight years ago as a Big Story in the New York Fucking Times is a pretty sad state of affairs, if you ask me.
Which nobody did, but still…
BMoe
What’s 8 years when it’s a “conservative”? According to liberal accepted wisdom, Rethugs and CONS are not allowed to be anything but perfect
BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY!!!1!!1
meanwhile, Halle Berry says she’ll do anything Barry wants….
I loved McCain’s campaign grousing about how the New York Times had lowered its standards by running a story like this.
Standards, heh. Heh-heh. Hahahahahahaha. Oh, Christ, I can’t stop laughing!
You’ve got a lot to learn, Johnny McMaverick, and you’d better learn it goddamned fast. Your buddies in the press? The people who gave you so much favorable ink and time on the network news shows for sticking it to the conservatives? Not so much anymore.
Normally, we’d talk about the dog that bites the hand that feeds it, but here we have the hand swatting the dog with a rolled-up newspaper. Let’s hope he’s learned his lesson, especially if he manages to get elected.
Darleen,
It doesn’t even have that. The Obama story has a guy who says “I did drugs with him and performed oral sex on him. Yes, me. I did it, and so did he.”
The McCain story has unnamed stafferers who were concerned about appearances and named staffers who dispute the anonymous accounts. there isn’t even an allegation of anything ever happening between them, and both parties deny it. And yet, which story is at the top of the network news today? Which story isn’t getting a whiff of coverage?
Baby, you can tongue my junk
Guess I’ll never be a monk
Blogging like a classless punk
Disinhibited and drunk
And baby I love you
