Never drink it
 

The XO wine is so expensive in China that I have never had and seen it.

It's my understanding that Jayson Blair the New York Times correspondent who's inability to write his own material is now lining up his sorted story for a book deal.

Last Wednesday, he told the New York Observer that his sleazy reporting stunts were intended to destroy himself professionally, so he could save himself personally. Blair told the Observer, “So Jayson Blair the human being could live, Jayson Blair the journalist had to die.

So wheres the incentive to tell the truth if even after going through a professionally humilating experience like this one you can still cash in afterwards? :confused:

That is worrisome but I don't think he made enough of a splash to warrant a big book deal. Even though I'm interested in the story, I wouldn't buy his book.

I can't remember if it was Newsweek or Time that had him on the front cover this week, but he looked like a pimp in the picture.

For some reason, this whole thing kinda reminds me of an old sketch on SNL..."Colin Quinn explains The New York Times."

     Um... Couldn't he have just quit?

Besides, if you're going to go down in flames, you might as well do it at a paper with the #3 circulation in the United States, right?

David Vigliano, Mr. Blair's literary agent, told the Observer Mr. Blair's proposal would first be shopped as a film treatment, and then offered as a book.

I wouldn't go buy the book or go see the movie either. But if somebody buys the rights I imagine he is a good as paid. However it is my understanding that Blair is under investigation for fraud by the U.S. Attorney's office. Possibly he could be sent to jail and have to write his book while there and perhaps be forced to donate any proceeds to charity.

Oh well...not the first time it has ever happened and it certainly won't be the last. :) I do have to agree with what Whit said....why not just quit?

It's amazing how in a very short period of time this Asshat has gone from being "the reporter who lied" to a victim of the system.

I was reading an article published about him in which he blames ALL of his problems (including his drug addiction, depression, and compulsive need to plagarize) on the pressures put on him by the white corporate power structure.

Doesn't ANYBODY fucking accept responsibility for themselves anymore? I'm particularly distressed over the "it's all whitey's fault" pronouncements.

Don't buy books by crooks.:shotgun:

Tell that to the folks that made G. Gordon Liddy a best-seller.

No one can assure there are no these affiars again
 

I don't don't know if I waste all my time on TV, newspaper... I should come here to chat with you, go out to see.
