Jesse Griffin, Julia O'Malley: Consider The Source(S)

Addressing the issue of sources with someone like Jesse Griffin seems silly given that we've already established his possible inability to tell the truth about anything, even a job. His alleged employer appears to be bogus, given my previous post. The Alaska Report may be even worse in trying to pull it off with him. But the hapless Griffin spilled the beans without realizing it. If he's the best the liberals could have hired, the Palin family will be fine coming out of this. Any serious journalist would suspect this is a Levi and Co. circle jerk enabled by a dishonest faux-press. Let's explore the proof.

Here's a real gem for starters.

This was posted by an Irish lass at Anchorage Daily News at 11:18 PM, Sat. Aug 1st. Remember that. Seriously, I've seen women with a come hither look. Julia O'Malley's is more like, I wouldn't look like such a dork if I were getting laid once in a while. Is she all revved up with no place to go, or what? Don't believe me?

Read her slobber-fest over Levi Johnston. The over-under there is definitely under in relationship to the table before the night ended when she dined with Levi and crew. Did she eat dinner, or was her mouth too full? We're just asking questions here.

Read it all if you don't believe me. What a pathetic pumping up of a clueless, classless dope trying to cash in. The unofficial word on the ground in Alaska is, not one cent for the baby he fathered, but enough for a new pick-up truck for himself and add in assorted toys. But, I digress.

Look what she wrote, remember, at 11:18 PM Sat.

It's not easy to get an interview with Levi. ...

Being selective is part of maintaining mystery around his client, Rex said. He didn't allow him to sit for too many interviews because there were some parts of the story that wouldn't be revealed until he writes a book.

The day after our dinner, he was flying to New York for a photo shoot with Vanity Fair.

Gee, who else would know that, this guy being so hard to reach and such? Well, look what ass-monkey, I may have a job where I don't have to show up, Jesse Griffin had to say at 5:20 AM earlier the same day in breaking the divorce rumor well before O'Malley published her knee bruising bracing scoop.

You probably read it already but overlooked this bit. He knew about the Vanity Fair trip and had the divorce rumor in the same earlier post, but the Vanity Fair trip wasn't reported in the news by Julia until 18 hours later. Where do you think all this came from at the same time our lipstick-smudged red reporter-ette got it ... from Levi and Co? Griffin early that AM:

And while I am on the topic of Levi I will also let you know that he did a very interesting Vanity Fair interview in which he divulged a lot of heretofore unknown information. I did not get too many of the juicy details, but my understanding is that Levi was without his handler (Tank Jones) and let some fairly explosive tidbits out. The article will be published in the October edition.

The rag of a pub where do me now, I'm begging you, Levi parks her skinny ass in a chair and pretends to do news generates two stories from her frolic by using Griffin? She leaves it out of her later item as if she didn't know about it for cover but apparently fed it to Griffin becoming his not Levi but allegedly reliable source. That's absolute BS.

It's a circle jerk enabled by a dishonest faux-press, the Alaska Report making up seemingly multiple sourced news depending on the many ways it could have been played? Geesh! They simply cited Griffin as their source, the Alaska rag runs the rumor at 5 PM. But Griffin just had to use both items because he's such a ham, or he wants to earn his cash, perhaps. But the idiot provides the critical clue by dropping in the Vanity Fair news, too. Dumb, or what? Okay, I'll say it: I told you so.

I guess O'Malley needed time to dig all the under the table bubble gum out of her hair before filing later that night, sans Levi's divorce rumor to cover any tracks is my take. His handlers are trying to keep his image clean in hopes of cashing in, so they didn't want him as the original source. Looks like she got the info, maybe as a reward for delivering the fellatio ala creme dessert to Levi, ... Rex and Tank probably added the mocha to the gal's palate platter. Hey, journalism is a tough sled. Poor dear. I hope she never does any courtroom reporting. Things could get embarrassing if a judge ever puts a gag order in effect with her around. It could take two bailiffs to get a dedicated scoop like O'Malley off her knees in time for recess to start.

Enter Radar OnLine, the Star and whomever else now wants an independent source -with a wink, wink, nudge, nudge, assuming they have half a brain. Otherwise, they're being played just the same. To whom do they go? Levi Johnston, of course - now sanitized as the original rumor source by Griffin. He can claim he didn't get it from Levi and Co. But if he reveals his source the scam falls apart.

There's apparently only one source for all this so-called news - Levi and co. They're playing ping pong with the blogs to create the appearance of multiple sources after sending Lil' Red riding in the hood with Rex Butler for whatever she can bring back with his permission. He's calling the shots and maybe putting who knows what else in her mouth over time hoping to cash in before shining Levi on to work a fishing boat if they'll have him and complain about his bad teeth he broke on Hollywood's walk of fame for losers called a back alley with a bottle in hand. But, hey, it's a dream. What else does Ricky Hollywood have?

If one report I heard is correct, Sis is underage and likes to chug beers in the local bars auditioning for her big break at Glory Hole dot com. And Mama took a bust for peddling illicit prescription meds. Ricky Hollywood will have to suck it up and do Gay Porn if he ever wants an exended career in film and Rex and Tank won't give a damn cruising to the bank as long as they can on Levi's destined to be short-lived stud in jeans appeal.

What a joke. It's ping pong with a group of willing partners all designed to confuse and create a mulit-sourced story with just one source and it isn't even news at all, just one moron who can't even help pay for his kid trying to cash in under the greedy handling of some slick scam artists that have control of him until they toss him over because his usefulness is up. Hey, we're talking about a Democrat here, would we really be surprised?

Levi will be sitting in an Alaska bar crying over lost teeth and lack of insurance because he won't have any decent people left in his life by the time it's done. Meanwhile, the Palin kid is supposedly taking college courses and supporting her child by working. And some other moron's claim to 15 minutes will be smacking Levi in the face because he doesn't like his looks one day.

If that's the brass ring Levi's reaching for, he might just get it after all. It's an American story all too often these days, behold its glow as it won't last very long. They never do. Who knows? Maybe Levi will eventually get a gig shining Rex's shoes and join our red-haired reporter-ette down on her knees for whatever it's worth.

Exclusive Star Report - Dateline Hollywood

Levi Johnson has been cast to star in a leading motion picture, the sequel to the block buster "Broke Back Mountain" he will star in Broke Back II - a love story about an Alaskan fisherman and his love affair with a King Salmon.

PETA proclaims that this is a major step forward in animal rights.

We have used multiple sources to validate the authenticity of this story.

....more to come

[Steve White]

Ouch. Remind me never to get you mad at me.

[anginak]

Ahhh, a journalist of the ADN, left, liberal, lesbian (not that there's anything wrong with that)..... no bias there. Although, she did a somewhat kinda fairish article on leaving SP's wardrobe/looks out of the political equation awhile back. The article was tepid... or the ADN editor may not have greenlit it, IMHO

Dan said, "(yawn)"

For the first time in a while I agree 100% with you.

[Lisa Graas]

You say (yawn), I say *URP*

One reason I left The Theatre-of the absurd-was the sickening display of desperation it took to get that idolized membership into the really cool celebrity-VIP room; the desperate will willingly get down on their knees to sucking on the crap since this it what it takes to get to that coveted place.

The degradation of mind, body and spirit just to get the good graces of a bunch self-serving narcissistic barbaric buffoons was too grotesque to endure, I stood up and finally walked out the myopic and provincial backstage door.

If all it takes to be a fashionable celebrity is to dig deep into the bowels of inhumanity slopping the crap all over the canvas or the movie screen then very little exist in the area talent, craft and art.

By the way, this is the reason why Hollywood no longer creates a quality product; digging deep into the bowels of inhumanity then slopping it all over the screen is the fashionable way lazy celebrities (ie directors, writers, actors) pretend to have talent.

I leave it with this:

All the world is Kingdom Hollywood's movie set and we are mere background players.

[Pyous]

I bet neither conservatives nor liberals would be interested(for different reasons) in going through a documentation of Dan Riehl's online and offline histories--speculating on his motivations, possible psychological disorders, seeds of ideological lunacy etc(you get the point)--if someone studiously worked on it(like he supposedly does.)

[Lala]

Drivel on.

New face in the "Liberal bloggers Make Asses of Themselves, Again": Julia O'Malley.

[JD30]

Julia is actually a decent writer who has made no secret of the fact that she's a lesbian.

I could do with a lot less about Levi, though. How many other poor wannabes won't get their 15 minutes because he's used up his and their's, too?

[Konsertive]

If I am to hold Jesse Griffin in contempt for his obscene behavior ala Sara Palin how should I view your equally disgusting attack on O'Malley?\
You seemed to have some sailent points but your Griffenesque methodology overwhelms any serious concideration of your reportage

[Hyman Roth]

Kon-man,

An active participant in a scam is not an innocent bystander. O'Malley is a big girl who chose a side and made conscious decisions to get involved. She is helping the 2009 equivalent of Kevin Federline to smear Sarah Palin. O'Malley is fair game.

And spare us the faux outrage. Fix the liberal mudslinging first. Then you can come lecture us conservatives.

[White and Black Mixed]

"If I am to hold Jesse Griffin in contempt for his obscene behavior ala Sara Palin how should I view your equally disgusting attack on O'Malley?\

Amen to the above

[mark l.]

"How many other poor wannabes won't get their 15 minutes because he's used up his and their's, too?"

technically, writing an article about a wannabe, might relegate to writer to their own wannabe status.

[Gina]

Dan, I really appreciate your investigative journalism and some of the stuff you've dug up about the anti-Palinistas and their lies and prevarications.

But I have to tell you, with all due respect, that your writing style has grown very difficult to read. By the time I've waded through all the "under the table" and the "circle jerk" and the hundred and one sexual euphemisms, I'm half-dizzy and have to go back and read and parse every sentence before I even know whether I've learned anything. A little straightforward writing would go a very long way.

And frankly, your insults are not helping your credibility. Again, why not just be straightforward and let these people hang themselves? They're eager enough to do it.

Just an opinion from someone who recognizes and appreciates what you're trying to do. Take it for what it's worth.

[Dan Riehl]

"And frankly, your insults are not helping your credibility."

I respect your concrns, Gina. But hope you'll at least appreciate in what any anger is based. This is someone playing the role of a journalist. That pap she wrote was so pathetically drooling it may just as well of been a romance novel. What I suspect is some complicity in the whole bask Palin meme by that paper and her finding a dirt bag like Levi so compelling - tell me, please, what in all that is derseving of any respect? I see little at all, frankly. Sorry if you were offended, really. And I mean that. But I respect people who deserve it and don't well tolerate people calling themselves journalists and behaving, let alone writing s she did in that piece.

Again, with all due respect, while appreciating your point, I'd suggest at least considering what is it she is really doing with garbage like that? So, as a "journalist," what the hell is she really about? Even as a student editor I would have dumped bad copy like that in the waste bin where it belongs. That she would produce it andthat an Alaska newspaper would print it speaks voluems about the sad state of newspapers today. And I'd suggest that is the larger issue here, versus me taking some overtly sexual jabs. I neither know, nor care if she is a lesbian - first I heard of it, or her. But I doubt I'll read much more of her given that sad tripe passed off as suitable newspaper copy.

[crosspatch]

"So, as a 'journalist,' what the hell is she really about?"

Probably has visions of "making a difference" and using her position to influence people or at least damage the "opposition". I suppose what one's expectations are of a "journalist" would influence their feelings on all of this. If you go back to Ben Frankin, "journalism" was more about political agitation and furthering an agenda. The difference is that in days gone by we had lots of different papers. A large city might easily have a half a dozen of them; each with their own agenda. These days we have only one paper with the major papers in several large cities being basically the same outlet.

And then, of course, there is the difference between "journalist" and "reporter". While she may be a journalist (someone who writes things), she certainly isn't a reporter (someone who accurately reports what is going on). She is helping to create the story and that might be why it is called the "news industry" these days. They spend a lot of time manufacturing the stories that they write about.

[Dantes]

I think you are right Dan, again.

Griffin was setting up a story for Ricky Hollywood. The ass says "since day one" to an obviously previously vetted (and approved) question. Day one? Holy mo, that boy knows something ... unfortunately, he comes across as thick as a brick.

So, behind this little episode is Rex Butler, lawyer, employed by another ethics filer Raymond A. Ward, employer of bodyguards and newly minted celebrity agent. Black and a democrat. Part of the wider cabal you are uncovering no doubt.

[Gina]

Oh no, Dan, I don't blame you for being angry. Not at all. I'm angry too, believe me.

I just don't want any of us to let our anger run away with us. That makes it so much easier for the leftists and the gossipmongers to discount us.

[Barry]

"That makes it so much easier for the leftists and the gossipmongers to discount us."

Gina, while I appreciate the sentiment, I don't mind being "discounted" by those who lie and make up stories. I suspect it doesn't bother Dan either.

There is an old saying, "fight fire with fire". While we shouldn't make up things like they do, we can certainly have fun exposing them. The hell with what they think.

[crosspatch]

"But I have to tell you, with all due respect, that your writing style has grown very difficult to read."

I noticed that, too, but passed it off as being due to fatigue. It is almost like the various pieces are presented and you sort through them a couple of times and then finally go ... Oh! It's a clock! Still, it's pretty complicated where a "journalist" passes information to an "anonymous" third party to get that party to release it so they can be portrayed as a second source, if that is what went on (I *think* that is the gist of the story).

In any case, I don't doubt that the original source was the same person. Multiple people saying "I heard that, too" doesn't give you any cover if they all heard it from the same source (directly or indirectly). But having the reporter go around spreading it is pretty underhanded. Typical "activist" journalism, really, best not to believe a word that woman writes if that is the case.

[Mrs Accordian Country]

You be one crazy mutha fucka

[jane]

It is amazing that the Left, even though desperate to diminish Sarah
Palin, seems willing to annoint Levi as a fount of thruth and knowledge. They thought him a fool and a nitwit when it appeared that he was taking the honorable route by standing with the mother of his child but now that he's trashing the Palins he's this brave and righteous figure.

And IMO he's so stupid that he doesn't even realize that he's being used and will be discarded by the Left when he's no longer a useful idiot. Do you think he will be suprised if the Palins treat him like the scum he is?
