Folks, the money is only fifteen of the silver pieces.
The other fifteen lay in the words of this “journalistic BJ” masquerading as a news piece. Think back to your high school days, and to the poor souls who would do anything to be considered part of the “in-crowd”; or recall the college youth who would accept all manner of humiliation to join just the right fraternity. You now know the juvenile insecurities that motivate full-grown men and women to forsake all else (common sense, principle, honor, loyalty) to bask in the ego-boosting prose of such as the NYT.
Specter must be smoking his post-orgasm cigarette right about now.
And, with any luck at all, it will result in a dose of the political clap.
