What about that other RWer in the press corps, Lester?

[Cocoa]

there's an older, kind of unkempt, kind of nutty, very angry, guy there that always asks leading questions about abortion and gay marriage.

He doesn't seem to get much respect from the rest of the corps, or even from Scotty, he seems to be more of a joke than anything else.

I wonder who Les writes for, does anyone know?

4. holy crap, he's legit!

he even claims to have broken the Jim Jones story.

AS A NEWSPAPER COLUMNIST AND REPORTER before he went into broadcasting, Les was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in the category of criticism or commentary, by the San Francisco Chronicle in 1972 and by the San Francisco Examiner in 1973. He and reporter Carolyn Pickering of the Indianapolis Star in 1972 broke the first major stories on the Peoples Temple of the Rev. Jim Jones -- who had Les as number two on his "hit list". Les’ weekly column was syndicated to 256 daily and weekly newspapers in 49 states and five foreign countries.

Well, he's no Jeff Gannon, but he's still a nut.
