This cup-o-fluff reporterette frequently has her lights out.

Wow. This article needs a 'Barf Alert' in the title. This reporter is so far from objective it reeks but, then again, she writes for the Chronicle so n'uff said.

Leslie Fulbright doesn't rate a bio on her own paper.

LOL

Seems like a case of love-at-first-fright.

If this reporterette was so sure Tookie had changed from the days when he enjoyed killing for pocket change, why was she apprehensive when the lights went out?

If this is any indication of her reporting abilities, maybe she should reconsider being a waitress again....might be too hard on her though as most waitresses have to think clearly, and write orders so they will be understood by the cooks or chefs. This lady is missing some brain cells or something, and she has to be clueless to boot! "Got your backside", my a$$, what a dope !!

How could we kill such a loving caring man. He clearly had a future escorting women.

Typical Lib DumbS_ _ T in Denial. They all refuse to recognize: "This guy killed four people--what is one more?" That way, his life would be tied up with trial for the next 4 years, and appeals until he dies.

This article is supposed to be about Tookie. He gets mentioned in two sentences. This is a standard aren't-I-great-to-get-this-celebrity-interview article. This self-centered broad is trying to work her way up, or down if you prefer, to the position of Geraldo Rivera.

And, she has a long, long way to go. Did I miss anything.

This is an amazingly revealing article. This "reporter" is horribly conceited and narcissistic. She uses the word "I" 50 times in this article. She also uses the words "my" and "me" ten times each. She writes in the article that she wants to "write a story about William's life using his voice" yet quotes Williams only twice. Williams, just like the reporter, uses the word "I" five times in those two sentences she quotes. Perhaps, in a way, she did tell his story. Through her repetitive use of the words I, me and my, she capsulizes his life; one of selfishness and narcissism.
But she also capsulizes her life, also one of narcissism, selfishness and arrogance. She castigates other reporters for not having the courage to interview Williams as she would have readers infer, but after saying Williams' "voice was essential", she only quotes him twice. What else did the two of them discuss for more than an hour, yet all we reader's get is a "look at how great I am" piece.

Go read the article. Leslie spends more words trying to express her "feelings" than she does writing about Tookie.

SmithL, ya got it right when you wrote, "cup-o-fluff reporterette."

***I was padlocked inside the small room with a man I had never met before, a man who was to be executed within days for the brutal murders of four people. ***

Which is reason alone for PUBLIC HANGINGS!
