The New York Times double-crossed Styles section writer Alex Kuczynski this week by leaking word that the sexy journalist had quietly resigned - without noting her departure was merely temporary.

"Alex told the Times a year ago when she signed her book deal with Doubleday that she would take a six-month book leave," a source explains.

[Liz]

The dark days aren't over at the paper. Four unidentified reporters under investigation for Jayson Blair-like abuses "have banded together and threatened to sue the paper if their names are leaked," another mole added. .............The probe has widened to include graft. "They are worried about people breaking the strict code at the paper about accepting gifts," our spy said. "The masses of reporters are getting angrier by the moment because they were held to strict standards while several others obviously were not."

Never could one have imagined that there could be anything as odious as slave owners and slave drivers and those that profited off the sweat of those in bondage. But NYT management is sure giving lowlife slave-owners a run for their money.

[Timesink]

Can't say I feel too bad for Kuczynski; she's been known as a vicious social-climbing bitch that used The Times as much as The Times used her. They deserved each other.

Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

"We anxiously await her return."

I anxiously await the return of honest journalism.

When it rains, it pours, as I used to say.

It looks more and more like that Times Editor-in-Chief Howell Raines pursued a liberal agenda to the total ignorance of journalistic integrity. The way the Times went after the Augusta National Golf Club earlier this year should be have a sign of just what is wrong with the paper. At the rate things are going, Raines is going to get this treatment from not only the general public, but also most Times staffers:

[Welsh Rabbit]

Yep, she should understand the Clintonian ethics of the Times better than anyone.

[Grampa Dave]

This is another example of lunatic libs ruining their businesses.

Of course she is loving it as she gets free publicity for her new book.

The big unsaid question is: "Why did the left wing management of the Slimes want her to resign, and why did they make it public?"

One might guess that she has some lies about to be exposed.

If she is documented as a liar, it will be hard to call her a black reporter. Maybe there is an affirmative action program for white blonde women at the Slimes.

[Liz]

....looks more and more like....Howell Raines pursued a liberal agenda to the total ignorance of journalistic integrity.......

........looks more like ignorant liberal Howell Raines corrupted journalistic integrity
and proselytized a biased political agenda at the expense of unsuspecting readers.....

[Liz]

Maybe there is an affirmative action program for white blonde women at the Slimes.....

Brunettes oughta sue.

[Liz]

I anxiously await the return of honest journalism.

Don't hold your breath.

[Liz]

.....a vicious social-climbing bitch that used The Times as much as The Times used her.....

Accurately describes Liberal La-La Land Hollywarped as well. Buncha users.

[aristeides]

I've been wondering who has a cause of action to sue Jayson Blair (so that he doesn't pocket the money from any book or movie deal). Maybe Slimes employees do?

[Liz]

Times owners sure have standing to sue. But they probably won't.

If Jayson is indicted, Son of Sam laws kick in preventing him from profiting from his crimes.

[aristeides]

Is there a federal Son of Sam law? To escape the NY Son of Sam law, does Blair have to do anything more than leave the state?

Looking Like America

Alex Kuczynski’s marriage was announced today in the pages of the Sunday New York
Times.......Who says that Times writers aren’t representative of Americans as a whole?

Alexandra Louise Kuczynski and Charles Porter Stevenson Jr. were married in New York yesterday. David N. Dinkins, the former mayor, officiated at the couple’s apartment. The bride, 34, who is known professionally as Alex Kuczynski, is a reporter for The New York Times. She graduated from Barnard College. Her father, Pedro-Pablo Kuczynski of Miami and Lima, Peru, was until July the finance minister of Peru. He is now the president of the Latin American Enterprise Fund, a private investment concern in Miami. . . .

Ms. Kuczynski’s stepfather, Thomas L. Hughes, is emeritus president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. . . . The bridegroom, 55, is a private investor. He is a trustee of Bard College and of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, . . .
His previous marriages ended in divorce.

[Liz]

He's nailed by Son of Sam no matter where he lives.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, another example of the common people that the Slimes hires to represent the common American.

[Crawdad]

How fitting.

[Grampa Dave]

Apparently a movie about Jayson will soon be released:

The dark days aren't over at the paper.

And doancha know there are a few papers out there more than willing to write about it. It may take awhile for #1 to recover - if they can...
