I Don't Want to Pay for the Real Scott
TFM tipped me about Scott Thomas Beauchamp. I've read enough for now. I have to admit I've not read as much TNR since this scandal has arisen, and I even emailed the magazine about its refund policy (thanks, TNR, at least you consistently refuse to respond to emails).
Let me say it straight: I'm disgusted!
Firstly, Franklin Foer has still not proven to me why he should be editor-in-chief, still. Trust is a very important commodity, and Foer has lost mine. If no staffer, or leftist sycophant subscriber understands this, they are just too jaded for my money.
Secondly, is Beauchamp reliable? Is he a Walter Mitty?
I now think that what the TNR has on its hands is not a fraudulent soldier, but a Walter Mitty. He’s there, he’s bored, and he’s using his real experiences as a basis to make stuff up.
Is he perhaps a bit insane over-educated?
Thirdly, there's the allegations of tawdry office connections and Plame-ish games. I leave readers the displeasure of reviewing these allegations.
It all makes the Bush administration look competent.
Meanwhile, why can't TNR find another blogger like Phil Carter?
