      Yes, but, “Bubba” was either Bill Clinton, Maxwell’s horse, an unknown party, a joke, or just a double entendre that might not even mean sex.

      As much as I want that email to explicitly say that Donny blew Billy………. It does not.

      I think the real problem is, you want these things to be true (as much as me), but you’re talking it a step further and calling it a fact before it actually is.

        No, the fact I’m referring to is the text of the email. Whether the text alludes to factual events is besides the point. The email exists, and it says what it says. Any thorough reporting on such a ridiculous situation is going to sound like satire.

        And this is only one example. This is the latest in a never ending stream of ridiculous scandals and unbelievable turns of events. This is not the result of sensational headlines, this is the result of sensational events.
