Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, 73, is being grilled over a controversial essay he wrote for an alternative weekly newspaper back in 1973: 43 years ago. If they’re going to drag stuff out of politicians’ pasts, why not focus on what’s important?

Hey, Ted, what’s voting for yet another idiotic war of aggression abroad against bondage fantasies ? Surely you can’t mean that the former is as serious a solecism as the latter ? You’re comparing unoffensive apples with vicious oranges !…

To the extent Sanders is subjected to standard US media inanities, he is at least officially acknowledged as a presidential candidate.
News is boring, issues are boring, scandal sells. I just wonder whether Hillary’s interns will be young, handsome males with dusty knees.
What will happen should the public becomes aware of rumors of Hillary’s night-time visits to AR State Police quarters while 1st Lady of Arkansas? (Didn’t happen, so far as I know — but would be a helluva scandal, no?)
