The Stuff Pulitzer Prizes are Made Of

Filed in National by on January 24, 2008

Think about it…

Everybody is talking renewable energy and suddenly off shore wind power gets a big boost through an open process which selected it to wide public acclaim.

Then a group of corrupt state legislators clearly in the employ of the big local dirty energy conglomerate suddenly nix the deal after secret back room meetings. Those out of touch legislators expect a few red herrings and a packet of lies aimed at discrediting the clean energy will make the whole mess go away and their paymasters will be happy. Why not, it has always worked in the past.

Only the red herrings are so obvious and the discrediting lies are so blatant that the cabals of insiders start to feel some heat.   One member of the cabal is particularly vulnerable to the heat since he has tried to build his credentials as an honest broker.  In an effort to save his career, the “honest” politician starts to make some noises pointing the finger at the other cabal members and all hell breaks loose.

It seems to me that some outside investigative reporter eager to make a name for himself would be interested in out little drama. Am I wrong?

    VC – I set my own words off with block quotes to give it that kind of “story pitch” effect.

  8. Von Cracker says:

    Imitation?

    Uhh….yeah sure….imitation.

    You don’t really need two hands there, junior. Two fingers maybe.

    And put away the kleenex. A q-tip should suffice.
