Howard Kurtz, the host of CNN's "Reliable Sources," was just now on tv talking about this Jayson Blair matter, and Kurtz expressed disgust that now, Jayson Blair will probably be rewarded for his fraud with a mega-money literary contract. Kurtz said he felt there should be a law, similiar to the Son of Sam law in NY (which prevents convicted criminals from selling their stories), whereby a writer is prohibited from colelcting any profit as a result of journalist fraud.

Slickmeister, $12 million book contract after admitting to lying under oath. There's the role model.

Any money Blair gets, can be the object of civil suits. Who did Blair commit torts against that can sue?

Don't worry. I do not expect sales to come anywhere NEAR that figure and the publisher who foolishly bought Willie's willie stories and paid him in advance will take a financial and professional hit.

Hillary's "work" is another book that will tank miserably- just watch- and the publisher who got mixed up with her bs will also suffer adverse financial and professional consequences for doing so.

Eventually, even the isolated, self-important, dim-witted idiots at these publishing houses will see that getting mixed up with the Clintoons and their ilk is a very, VERY costly venture. (Ask the American people, the United States has STILL not yet recovered from the damage those parasites have inflicted to the country.)
