I’m sure you didn’t read the Wash Post piece, because I’m sure you never read the Wash Post. It was a fair piece. She is a bullish!!!er in an old fashioned, pre-Santos way, playing up her Hispanic heritage when it benefits her (in Florida) and playing down her prior job (ostensibly “waitress” but others suggest a bit more) in a gentlemen’s club. And playing down her middle class upbringing. Like I said: garden variety politician spin on her background. Maybe Biden-esque if you will. Definitely not Santos magnitude, but then who is …. It’s an interesting piece because it sheds light not just on her, but on the kind of biography Republicans so deperately desire in order to anoint a new “rising star.” Full disclosure: yes, the hottest woman in Congress. And it’s not even close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the definition of unfair and I would be furious if someone wrote that article about someone I love.

The Frankish Reich Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I don’t have time to dredge them up now, but equally fair are the old articles questioning Biden’s bs stories — the Wash Post actually did one about the infamous face-off he had with the legendary “Corn Pop” (conclusion: there was a person known by that name, but no one remembers young Joe going mano-a-mano with him)—and articles about Bill Clinton putting a spin on his personal story. All successful politicians do this. They write books that nobody reads—books that are a blend of half-baked policies (“we need an America that works for the American people” or something similarly vacuous) and embellished personal narrative (you’ve got to “overcome obstacles” even if you were born into wealth and privilege). By the way, the Wash Post said nothing about Luna being anything other than a waitress at a gentlemen’s club. Others have reported that she may have done other things there too, and it’s not a wild fantasy given that it coincided with a time in her life when she was modeling for men’s magazines, etc. Someone here suggested that I was saying she was a prostitute. No, unless you think everyone who may have modeled in a bikini is a prostitute; I will grant you that others may be more familiar than me with that whole scene.

Biden’s issues are not limited to his confrontation with the legendary CornPop over a diving board and bathing cap, however implausible that story seemed to be. His political career is littered with fabrications and unsubstantiated stories, salacious behavior, partnering with political cretins and the Post could do a 10 part expose on the guy and still have more material for next year. But, sure, this was time well-spent and pretty much boils down to some people remembering things differently. It’s journalistic Mean Girls, part 1,456.
