Type of Content: Picture George Stephanopoulos: Spying on a constipated Neo Con George Stephanopoulos sits across from me in the airport terminal waiting for his flight back home to DC. His face is more pale than he appears on TV, marked with emaciation. He is reading the LA Times' front-page article "McCain's broken marriage and fractured Reagan friendship."1 Wearing his emotions on his face, the ABC News' Chief Washington Correspondent is obviously distraught over the article. Before I know it, he is is brainstorming over the phone with an unknown advisor. I discreetly snap a picture of him talking into his cell phone.2 He has a bad habit of biting his left thumbnail when he is nervous. Ten minutes later, he is off the phone -- I catch him shaking his head disappointingly as he re-reads the meatier part of the story. Then he notices that I am watching him, so I turn away. Whimsical thoughts enter my mind of upgrading my plane ticket to first-class, perhaps to catch a better glimpse into the interworkings of the Neo Conservative agenda. I think about the stress of Stephanopoulos's upbringing from a demanding Priest father. I wonder if he struggles with his own morality on misinforming the public to persuade mass opinion. Or if his past as a sexually abused altar boy has deprived him of these emotions. George must have undergone psychological testing from a three-letter agency. Their tests determined that his loyalty could be channeled to fulfill the global mission of serving a monolithic New World Order. As a Rhodes' Scholar and Bilderburg member, he was trained in Internationalism where he believes he serves legitimate functions. He sees himself as "enlightened" -- a dangerous delusion for someone so lacking in character, so compromised, so controlled by his own past. I wonder how early in his life his soul was engulfed by the psychological lure for power. I glance up seeking the answer... but Stephanopoulos has disappeared out of his seat. There, he stands at the counter making arrangements with an airline attendant to receive an unexpected last-minute fax. He nervously paces back and forth until finally boarding his plane. As I step aboard, I am greeted with a familiar cold scent of ozone in the air. The flight attendant smiles at me, and I turn to find my assigned seat. As I look on, I spy Stephanopoulos entering a message into his PDA. Minutes later, somebody hands him his long-anticipated facsimile. The fax is wordy and several pages long, but, sitting a few rows back, I cannot make out the literature. I can't help think it must be full of sinister talking points and counter arguments.3 He spends the entire six-hour flight studying this fax and reading some book. I notice his hair is starting to whiten. I may never know what secrets the former Gephardt and Clinton aide carries around in his suitcase. The only thing I truly learn is that this ABC reporter takes advantage of all the first class luxuries... except the roasted peanuts. Maybe he is allergic, or maybe he is constipated. My guess is the latter. 1. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-divorce11-2008jul11...
