“Project Mayhem”

Morning meetings here at FITS News have always been notable for their free-flowing form and general aversion to accomplishment.

Oh, and the inevitable monologue from our founding editor about how important and/ or attractive he is.

Self-indulgent?  Yes.  Laid-back?  Always … or almost always.

Last week, during an investigation into some questionable advertising maneuvers by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a premature inquiry by one of our reporters to the Graham camp actually resulted in Team Lindsey switching up the name of the liberal special interest group that’s paying for the ads.

Needless to say, that attempt at professional courtesy on the part of our reporter launched Sic Willie into a profanity-laced tirade.

“What the f*ck do you think this is, 60 Minutes?” Sic roared at the reporter. “You queered the whole f*cking deal with your Wolf Blitzer bullsh*t!  We don’t f*cking care what they think when their goddamn balls are in the palm of our hands!  You squeeze, dammit!  You want a comment from those cake boys?  Call ‘em five minutes after we stick it up their asses and ask ‘em how it feels.”

Reminded that the subject of the story was Lindsey Graham, Sic relaxed a bit and then observed, “well, maybe his comment will be that he likes it.”

“This is not ‘Who, What, When, Where and Why,’” Sic said. “This is ‘Project Mayhem.  Ask those f*ckers at The State how well ‘credibility’ is selling newspapers.”

Yeah … Sic Willie, everybody.

And yes, he does kiss his mother with that mouth.

Anyway, we’ll have Chapter Two in our ongoing saga about Sen. Graham’s new ads later this morning …  and we’ll let y’all be the judge on what is and isn’t “journalism.”
