A Washington Post reporter, hookers and crack. A pity Doctor Raoul isn't around to see this.

Well that explains a lot of things coming out of WaPo.

Sounds like “I Was a Communist for the FBI.”

What a character he was. He even got noticed by Hillary. She once commented about some guy in a devil suit, LOL!

Castenada told his story with other details a few years back in the Washington Post Magazine.

Me too, back when I had XM radio.

Dana Andrews did a good job in it. It was a well-produced show with good plots. ("Johnny Dollar" with Bob Bailey is still my favorite radio show.)

Philip Roth wrote a novel called "I Married a Communist," which was a good read. It was set in the 1940s and 50s. Supposedly it was also a veiled attack on his ex-wife Claire Bloom, in the person of the Communist's wife.

That can cause you to have a complete lack of control and do anything humiliating for a buck... and being a crack addict can mess you up too.

“Johnny Dollar” with Bob Bailey is still my favorite radio show.”

I really like Dragnet, and I tell you who really holds up surprisingly well is Jack Benny.

I also like that show that’s sort of like Twilight Zone, just one-off stories, and often odd and Sci-Fi-ish. I CANNOT remember the name, this is going to annoy me!

And?

I have always assumed that any Washington < Bleep! > reporter was on hard drugs.
