3fer: Odd Tweety, just ODD. Scooter still hob-nobs?!1 MURDOCH turns Page Six on WOLFF

[UTUSN]

Why does convicted (felon?) Scooter get to rub body parts in close quarters with Spanish Prime Minister ZAPATERO? Oh, well, Rich LOWERY and BOLTON were in the pile, too.

Why would "all eyes" at a "society cafe" be on Tweety?!1 Just, WHY?!1

And this WOLFF dude *does* give off a creepy aura, but Page Six has been known to be used as a gun in the War on the Enemies of MURDOCH's Empire, such as on Keith and Alex BALDWIN, so 3 days or so running, it has devoted items to him. Just sayin', that when WOLFF was at the beginnings of the book tour for his biography of MURDOCH -- before he was sidelined by the gossip about his affair -- his content was that MURDOCH is a tool for whoever is his current wife, that when the 2nd wife was a Catholic Fundie, he was running raging Wingnut content, but now that his 3rd wife is in the Hollywood Lib set he has likewise TURNED. Plus, that MURDOCH is SCARED SHITLESS of Roger AILES, that AILES can burst into MURDOCH's office and pound the desk and leave MURDOCH shaking.

OF ALL GIN JOINTS

ALL eyes at society cafe Swifty's Wednesday night were on TV talker Chris Matthews and his two handsome sons - one preppy, one fashionably bearded. Nearby, John and Susan Gutfreund delighted their guests with shots of Inocente tequila. As Anne Slater was telling John Cahill and Richard Turley that her pal Harry Winston had been a paragon of taste, in walked Ron Winston, son of the totemic jeweler, and sat at the next table. In the back, Gale Hayman entertained Joan Didion, Earl McGrath, Michael Feinstein and Barry Humphries, off to Fort Lauderdale to perform as saucy Aussie Dame Edna.

WOLFF AT MOM-IN-LAW'S DOOR

.... The bald, trout-lipped Vanity Fair writer and his wife, Alison Anthoine, are being sued for $2.5 million by Edith Anthoine, who claims their "upsetting" and "pressuring" tactics to evict her from her East 74th Street home caused her to suffer a heart attack. "(They) have continued to communicate hostile messages . . . and have threatened to 'eject' her . . . ," the suit states. ....

But in an e-mail to Page Six, another family member fumed: "It's really, really creepy . . . This guy Wolff epitomizes everything that is simply wrong about this generation of spoiled-brat, entitlement children." ....

.... ...Wolff, 55, recently has been in the news for allegedly having an affair with blond journo Victoria Floethe, 28.

THE PROBLEM WITH A DISCLAIMER is its coming off as defensive, especially when it's preemptive. Trouble is, it's damned if do/don't: NOT including it first results in the predictable problems.

DISCLAIMER re: linking to the NY Post (for to head-off highly predictable, OT/hijacking posts):: Yes, it is a RAG. Yes, it is owned by NewsCorp/Faux's MURDOCH. No, he doesn't Dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate to "UNtruth" (OR with "triviality" for that matter). These old time gossipers are more journalistically reliable than Tweety and such ilk. Frequently, political tidbits are here first, later to show up in more "respectable" venues. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking intel results in self-fulfilling FALSENESS. I got hooked on these gossipers when they were on the E!1 network and, when they were cancelled, tracked them down and they happened to be at the RAG (NY Post). ALL I read at the RAG are the gossip and the horoscope.

Rick: Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

Rick: I'm a drunkard.
Captain Renault: That makes Rick a citizen of the world.

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

1. Chris Matthews went to a cafe? How interesting!

[RandomThoughts]

2. Well the term 'Gin Joint'

Comes from Cassa Blanca with Bogart, I wonder why that phrase was chosen. I think it was a neutral area where certain types talked. But what would that have to do with Chris Mathews?

I did notice he gave some kind of Award that day, that would be my guess, but again where is the linkage, it was after all from a pundit, and given to Rush.

I did notice the Rahm comments on Rush having courage and not hiding, but I think Rush's biggest attachment to that is the second character, or first shown at camp, if you know the story.

I have some suspicions of false linkage, or bait and switch, or misdirection, or some type of covering. But not sure, but with the multiple linkage, just got to wonder.
