No to both. They’re just showing their ages and I think their souls were rotten to begin with.
P.S. Permalink to the article here. I don’t know how long that photo will remain on the front page of Politico.
Oops. Permalink here. That’s what happens when I post comments before my first sip of coffee.
Pretty sure that’s more than aging. That’s the physical manifestation of spiritual death.
These two have caused a ton more suffering than they’ve experienced.
Most of the sufferings they have caused have been experienced by those who are most impoverished and have the least power.
Unfortunately the country is seemingly half full of idiots like this. Hand maidens to fascism and/or rank oligarchy.
Booze. You know this.
And yet Bourdain is dead.
It’s the evil metastasizing.
They’re looking more and more like Tammy Faye & Jim Baker every day…remembering that Tammy Faye bought her makeup by the pound…and look where it got them.
On the other hand, MSNBC has just hired on Ben Rhodes as an analyst and he’s fast becoming a force to be reckoned with on every show.
Comment from Ben this morning when asked to respond to Trump’s comment that he’d know all he needed to know in first minute of NK summit…Ben replied, ‘this isn’t like choosing a melon in a grocery store’.
I can remember when this couple began appearing on Geraldo Rivera’s nightly show in the 1990’s. They have always been media hounds. This quote is from a 1998 WP article.
“The couple (pronounced de-GEN-uva and TUN-sing) are so firmly entrenched in the media culture that he is a member of the Gridiron Club and she once had Rivera accompany them to the club’s annual dinner.
“I love him and I love his wife,” the talk host and fellow lawyer says. “They’re the most honorable people inside the Beltway. . . . He’s a strong, principled guy who doesn’t back down. If I played any part in making him a media star, I gloat with pleasure.”
Another quote from the same article:
“Name a high-profile investigation in this city and chances are the prosecutorial pair is involved.
Charges that Republican Rep. Dan Burton improperly demanded campaign contributions from a lobbyist for Pakistan? DiGenova and Toensing are the Indiana congressman’s personal attorneys.
Newt Gingrich’s ethics problems? Toensing represents the speaker’s wife, Marianne, to ensure her compliance with House ethics rules.
A House committee investigation of the Teamsters and the union’s links to improper Democratic fund-raising? DiGenova and Toensing are leading the probe as outside counsel.”
