It HAS to be asked: What the fuck is wrong with Bernstein???
I thought he was one of the 'good' guys? :shrug:

Beltway buddy system at its worst

Say what you will about Clinton’s stance on Iraq—and I could say plentythat’s been her oft-repeated position for years. Given their long experience with the Gerth method, it’s astonishing that the Times put the bogus allegation into print without checking. Have its editors learned nothing ?

At least Bernstein, whose ex-wife, screenwriter Nora Ephron, once described him as “capable of having sex with a venetian blind,” admits never interviewing his subject. So here’s his take on Clinton’s career at Little Rock’s Rose Law Firm: “The potential conflicts were obvious and almost unavoidable in a state in which a single law firm represented the enormously wealthy few (‘ the ArkoRomans, ’ in local parlance ) and maintained close friend-and-family relationships with members of the political class.”

I’ve lived 35 years in Little Rock without hearing the phrase “ArkoRomans.” OK, it’s a small city. People do get to know one another. Most Arkansans like it that way. But a single law firm ? Goodness, the attorneys run from pages 38 to 96 in the Yellow Pages. I believe I’ll pass.

5. How does one have sex with venetian blinds? Or was that badly translated from a "blind Italian woman
from Venice"?
