Condit article on front page of Globe tabloid

The Globe | 05/11/02

I never know how much of what I see in tabloids is real... they make up a lot of stuff but, then, nobody has the imagination to make up everything you see in tabloids. Who knows.

That said, the front page of the edition of the Globe which is now in supermarkets is interesting to say the least. The cover reads:

CHANDRA BOMBSHELL

TWO of Condits political pals ordered her execution

• One is a GOVERNOR
• One ran for PRESIDENT

That's what it says, and approximately the way it says it, and that's all I know.

The tabloids are strage. One moment they will feature a 1,400 pound lady giving birth to a new Lock Ness monster, on the other hand they have some of the best investigative reporters in the business.

I was kinda hoping you would have taken a peak inside so you could have named names here (I didn't have time last time I was at the checkout line)

The piece is a hell of an invitation for a lawsuit if it's made up...

The web site and the mag might not be on the same sheet of music. I'm telling you what the ordinary dem voting block sees at the checkout counter at Shoppers' Food Warehouse.

[CounterCounterCulture]

I saw what you saw. Not sure why the web site's image was different (haven't updated it yet?)

[medved]

I didn't want to say anything more about it for fear some of the women in the sex club the article talks about might come and kidnap me...

Did you get a load of Babs picture? She was looking haggard.

(er, I was looking for the Economist when I just happened to see the Globe!)
