Dirty Laundry

Entertainment 1 Minute

Today is Don Henley’s birthday (born in 1947) and this song is about getting dirt on people.  It seemed relevant today, giving the state of “journalism” in America.

“Dirty Laundry”

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out
What’s going on
You don’t really want to know
Just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done
We haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry

  4. Just The News: “Former President Barack Obama’s office on Tuesday rejected accusations that the former president committed treason by allegedly attempting to rig the 2016 election, stating the allegations are “outrageous enough” to warrant an official response.

    The comment comes after President Donald Trump claimed his administration has uncovered evidence that the former president allegedly committed treason by engaging in conspiracies to rig the election and keep him from office. 

    “This was treason,” Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday. “Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, and so were the rest of them: [former FBI Director James] Comey, [former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper, the whole group. They tried to rig an election and they got caught. And then they did rig the election in 2020.

    “This is like proof, irrefutable proof, that Obama was seditious, that Obama was trying to lead a coup,” he continued. “This is the biggest scandal in the history of our country.”

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last week sent declassified evidence to the Justice Department on what she claimed was a “treasonous conspiracy” related to top U.S. intelligence officials allegedly politicizing intelligence related to Russia and the 2016 election.

    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has also commented on allegations of a larger conspiracy that attempted to keep Trump out of the White House, or removed from office if elected. 

    Obama’s office denied allegations that he participated in a conspiracy to dethrone Trump or committed treason and that the “evidence” released by Gabbard did not provide new information about Russia’s attempt to influence the 2016 election.

    “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,” Obama’s office said. “But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. 

    “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,” the office added.

    Grassley said it is now up to the FBI and the current Department of Justice to investigate whether any further actions need to be taken to hold people accountable in the alleged conspiracy plot.”
