Joseph who’s this now? Nope, sorry, I just don’t remember the guy.

update: Joshua Micah Marshall doubts the Financial Times story, citing his weighty use of three names as a corrective to the Times’ use of “so-called facts and sources.”
One of the Beach Boys, right? Brian, Dennis, Carl, Willie, Mookie, and Joseph. You can’t sneak that one by me.
The way that Wilson guy used to talk through the fence made me nuts, I’ll admit.
How could you have forgotten? Joseph is the unseen figure alluded to in the old Mad Magazine cartoon where Dennis the Menace runs into the house holding a skull and shouting “Hey, Mom! Look what I found in Mr. Wilson’s head!”
Hate to correct you, SV Jim, but Mookie Wilson was not a Beach Boy. He was a Supreme.
Do you think Marshall will fare better with his scandal mongering this time? His prior efforts have been pretty disappointing.
In short, he’s promised earth-shattering scandals more times than I check out internet porn. At least the porn delivers.
p.s.—even when he’s not promising scandal, his inside sources are pretty unreliable.
