I'm Just Saying...

I'd like to see Joan Didion take a hard look at the coverage of the Diane Wilkerson scandal, and the Ted Stevens scandal, and then present her findings, much in the way she reported, famously, on the 'wilding' episode in NYC back in the 1980s. The results would be fascinating. Both Mass. state senator Wilkerson and Alaskan senator Stevens have been caught red-handed on the take, although the media is reporting that Stevens will not serve any jail time. Will wilkerson receive a similar public verdict?

What are the respective narratives going to be?

As the Man in the Gray Flannel Suit always said, "It will be interesting to see what happens."
