America today
An AP story:
Gennifer Flowers mulls vote for Clinton — The one-time other woman in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s life says she’s considering casting her vote for the former first lady. “I can’t help but want to support my own gender, and she’s as experienced as any of the others — except maybe Joe Biden,” Gennifer Flowers said in a recent telephone interview from her home in Las Vegas.
Flowers said she is still undecided, supports abortion rights and has long wanted to see a woman in the White House. “I would love to see a woman president, I just didn’t think it would be her,” Flowers said.
In the 1992 presidential race, the former television reporter claimed to have had a 12-year affair with then-candidate and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton. Clinton initially denied the allegation, but later, during his deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, acknowledged a single sexual encounter with Flowers.
Today the media frenzy, the book tour and the Penthouse shoot is behind her. The defamation suit she once filed against Hillary Clinton was dismissed. The 57-year-old lounge singer says she plans to stay far away from presidential politics.
The story helpfully adds: “Flowers moved to Las Vegas about a year ago, after years of singing at a cabaret club in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina wrecked her home and her marriage, she said. Sin City offered her a chance to perform in Bottom’s Up, a variety show at a casino.” Gee, the next nine years sound like a dream come true, with many more similar stories to follow.

Why? Why was that article written? What on earth went through the head of the editor that assigned the reporter who wrote this … this … whatever the hell this is?
The mediocrity we accept in this country is astounding.
(Sorry. I’m in a mood today.)
