CALL ME SNAKE

Writing in a confidential email note, my first “Celebrity Guest Interview” subject, Jungle Jerk, assailed my skills as a reporter, claiming to have been totally misrepresented by me. First, let it be known that I take such charges very seriously. Second, let it be known that I strenously and vehemently (violently?) disagree. I’m proud of those interviews, which were conducted under extremely adverse conditions with an interviewee who was nothing short of hostile. Given how unresponsive he was, it’s amazing how much “gold” I was able to squeeze out of those brief and tense exchanges.

If he thinks he can do any better, I’ll give him the opportunity to write his own post in this very blog. The public will then decide whose voice it prefers more. I’ll then decide personally how to respond to said mandate, either rejecting it out of hand or ignoring it altogether. So consider it a challenge, Mr. High-Falutin’ “J.J.” I’ve taken my glove off and ceremoniously slapped it across your check. Now the “glove” is on your shoe.
