Is that Pauly or Russert?
OK, there was Tim Russert and a loss to journalism and a man of standards. He didn’t shy from sticking a pin in the pols and then looking at them under the microscope.
Then there’s Dr. Pauly who gives us an incite laden interview of Snake from Wicked Chops.
Here’s a Pauly question. I kid you not – direct quote.
-
Pauly: But you guys aren’t just tits and ass. You guys actually break stories and are an integral part of the best alternative media coverage of the WSOP. So you actually provide an invaluable service, right?
Wow, no leading question there. Just hard hitting and Russert style journalism. Obviously, no Gonzo sellout possible — so Hunter S. Thompson won’t twist in his grave. Of course poor Snake is stuck here. How does he go beyond yes and not look like Helmuth on steroids?
Give me a break here. OK, you’re writing well and getting better. But isn’t it hard to write on your back with your legs spread that far?
(Lets make sure they’re not only alternative media but best/invaluable as we prepare our hard hitting thought piece of…
Journalism?
I don’t think so!)
I guess we now know why there is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Dr. Gonzo. You are blending fact and fiction just like your hero. That is what makes you such a leader.
His infomercial is over folks. Here’s the feature.The other day I waxed long over Pauly’s improvement. That is still there and he deserves the read. Just be sure to wash your hands after — like I’m sure he does after peeing next to a pro.

What a sad, jealous man you are, slinging rocks at writers with actual talent who get paid to cover the WSOP while you bitterly sit on the sidelines in whatever suburban hellhole you’re stuck living the end of your life in, writing for free for the 11 people who actually read you.
Pauly has a gift. You, sir are just a bitter hack.

Well, everything you say may be true. The one thing I am not is an anonymous poster who’s email address is supposedly prevoisahack@aol.com. Even there the truth is you are a Verizon customer in New Jersey. So, I guess you’re familiar with suburban hellholes. ROFL

Not even close. Apparently your internet sleuthing is just as bad as your writing.

BTW, if you’d bothered to read the blogs, you’d have found a very recent blog that said nice things about Paul.

This one points out the pimping that seems standard between many bloggers and Paul has that down to a science.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I’m in Las Vegas, aka somewhere you’re not because you’re a hack writer no one will ever hire.

OK, I accept you are jinxing your IP address. You are also using a phony email address. You are a gutless wonder. And, persistent to a fault.
Paul, like most of us, has his stronger points and weaker ones. He doesn’t hide behind them. He’s also strong enough to not have to hide using anonymity and actually enjoys it all — flaws and all.
If a ‘hack writer’ can occupy your time this way, you really need to get a life.
