And it's really fast too

hidden everywhere.

Yes

I imagine someone, somewhere has a copy of those wild parties laying around

I'm sure more than a few are fretting since this went public

... bad candidates kill campaigns.

Is their severely flawed thinking on,literally,any topic..It isn't the media....It's not recording devices....It's not even shit rmoneys mouth.....It's THEM...EVERY Goddam one of them!

I forgot when it was and what the question was. A TV-journalist asked Cheney something during the Bush-years about the Iraq-war. It was a critical question, supposed to expose a lie or a mix-up of facts. Cheney's response:
"Never said that."
Calm, fast, no elaboration. That was his whole answer.
"Never said that."
It was a lie. That I remember. That was the point when I realized, that he follows an outdated mindset of political discourse, an outdated view of media and society.

In the good old times, a politician could retroactively disown embarrassing quotes: It was his word against the journalist's word.
Conversations could have been undone and remade.
History and reality could be remade by use of propaganda.
But those good old times are over. Almost everything gets recorded now.
The information-monopole of government and corporate media is slowly eroding.
"Never said that." no longer holds any critic at bay.





My, my, what a cruel world have we become, when even the back-room chitchat of plutocrats isn't save from prying ears?

Maybe that's where the blame lies.
