You can’t get a writing job a the NY Times unless you are a crack addict, a drunk or a pathalogical liar or a combination of the aforementioned.

[Don Corleone]

The magical, mystical, main stream media.

[Rational Thought]

Certainly explains a lot of their reporting.

“All NYT writers go to a proctologist to get their hearing checked.”

How about All NYT writers go to a proctologist to get their heads examined?

[Arrowhead1952]

Probably just the first one to admit his problem. I’d bet there are a number of the DBM who do the same thing. They have so much guilt and drown their sorrows in drugs and booze.

[Conspiracy Guy]

That too

I second this motion.

This actually turns the noun, or is it an adjective, "second" into a verb, doesn't it? Or could it actually be an "adverb" now? oooooooohhhh...

You had it write (sic) the first time.

“I’m not going to lie: I used to smoke crack in there,” said one homeless womanNew York Times reporter... “But I won’t even go inside that thing now. It’s disgusting.”

[Polyxene]

“...he had a tough past and was plagued by crack and alcohol abuse.”

I get so tired of this crap. No one (especially the RAT/lib/socialists) ever takes responsibility for their actions. He got caught, so now the excuses begin — “Not my fault.” “I am an addict.” “The crack/alcohol made me do it.” “My mommy and daddy were mean to me.”, ad nauseum. ~barf~
