What took you so long? That’s what I ask myself, sometimes. Budget cuts affect everyone these days, including mainstream media. It takes them forever to uncover a story, and even longer to uncover a story not worth uncovering.
Back in 1969, at the tender age of 21, I wrote a senior thesis at Wellesley College. In a nutshell, I examined the tactics of Saul Alinsky, a radical community organizer from Chicago. It amounted to 92 pages of fluff so I could graduate.
Don’t tell me you didn’t write similar pablum when you were in college.
Last spring, Bill Dedman of MSNBC dug into public records of Wellesley and found my thesis. Now there’s this groundswell among media donkeys to spin, analyze, debate, criticize a document that’s almost 40 years old in an effort to show the world how Hillary thinks.
The Republicans spent about $50-million trying to find some Whitewater to hogwash the Clintons and came up with nothing. Does anyone believe that a decades-old college thesis is newsworthy?
Britney will get bigger headlines.
Here’s what is newsworthy. Wellesley sealed the thesis while Bill was president, so, for eight years it was off limits to everyone but Bill O’Reilly, who claimed to have a copy. He made some noise about it. That’s what he does.
After all these years nobody remembers Saul Alinksy, who he was, what he stood for, and why the thesis was important. I don’t even remember. I just needed a thesis to graduate and figured that nobody would do one on Alinsky.
I was right. That’s it. There was nothing else going on so stop bothering the poor folks at Wellesley College about getting copies of my papers.
