Still Waiting

For a decent follow-up on Margaret Seltzer (i.e. Margaret Jones, i.e. the White Snoop). I want to know what the deal is with her family. Is she estranged? Were they unaware she was spinning this shit until the New York Times starting lapping it up?

I know. Why do I care so much? I'm partially fascinated by people who can create such huge lies so easily. I mean hell we all lie every now and then, but come on! She makes James Frey look like Douglas Brinkley. BTW, I've been struggling with a "she makes James Frey look like XXX" line for the past three days. If anyone has someone better than Brinkley, send it on because it really doesn't work for me.

I love the quote in today's New York Times story from a woman from a Los Angeles civil rights group about how Seltzer acquired her knack for talking the talk without walking the walk. "All you have to do is go to a couple of movies or watch The Wire. You could riff off that forever," she said.

True dat!
