Jessie cashes in

After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, "Phineas
Pinkham" blurted out:

Sounds like jealous sour grapes to us, old boy!

Hmmm, a million dollars versus having lived the life of a combat
fighter pilot?

You're right, Jessie probably is jealous...she has every right to be,
but the money is some consolation...barely.

While I don't begrudge her the money, the choice of a questionable
ghost writer, released from the NYT for by-lining a story written by a
free-lancer means the whole project will be discredited.

Same guy?! Funny, the Knopf press release didn't mention that, and I
didn't remember the name on my own.

She rode out of the hospital in Iraq on a helicopter. That's closer to on
topic than a lot of the discussion here.

A hell of a lot closer than Venik's "Amerika not go moon" and "US sink
russia sub" posts, that's for damned sure.

Lord knows, after the pack of lies that
was released about her, she can't really be put down for sticking her hand
into the cookie jar and taking her shot.

What would you say if (in the unlikely event) that she tells the true story
exactly as it happened and not as the government fantasizes? That'd surely
make her a hero in my eyes. Wait and see.

That's an excellent point, and something I sincerely hope she opts to do. It
will be interesting to watch how this all plays out in the final analysis.
