Congressman Condom
What the Chandra Levy case says about our democracy
Fact is, the Democrats are praying Condit will not resign (or get arrested), but it has nothing to do with right and wrong, the public and the private, or sex and lies. They are only worried that in any special off-year election, Condit‘s open seat will be snatched by the GOP. Before dumping Condit, the Democrats want to gerrymander his district to hold on to it in 2002.
So, let the coverage continue. This is a story that not only resuscitated but actually managed to unite the opposing media-pundit teams from the salad days of Zippergate. Gore Whores like Lanny Davis and Cynthia Alskne together at last and in agreement with conservative columnist Ann Coulter and ex--federal prosecutor Barbara Olsen. Even some new media ground has been broken.
Hats off to Geraldo and to Fox News, who as a result of this case have gang-pressed pseudo-novelist Jackie Collins and parapsychologist Sylvia Browne into service as onscreen political analysts, no less. Move over, Gergen, Shields, Stephanapolous and Roberts. America’s finally getting the caliber of pundit that its political system so richly deserves.
And, pipe down and pass the popcorn.
