    I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

    The Econowiz pontificates on you-know-who, and not far from my take (albeit a little bit too in awe of the MM angle, and further albeit in the ninth of ten grafs):

    Americans watched and enjoyed it all; and were also aware, like gawkers driving past the scene of an accident, that they might at any moment witness something awful. The story of poor-girl-makes-good was never quite straight, the fame never without its tawdry side, the money never reliably there, the behaviour rarely unembarrassing. (Why not "often embarrassing" and be done with it?)

    All very well, but dammit, why does it take rich hacks to ascertain the truth when the amateur bloggers are out there beforehand?
