Yes, it's the very same Bimbo who scuttled Gary Hart's campaign, I think you have to give Gary all the credit for that; the "Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong and you could follow me around 24 hours a day and not find anything" bit convinced me that Hart was a major flake
A pal of mine from Mizzou was the photographer who took the Donna/Gary lap-sit photo. He got the Pulitzer prize. Whole episode says more about American "journalism" than anything else, and *I'm* a congenital Republican. ObGeodesicMarkets: It was a joke about Donna Rice that got me thinking about the speed of information propagation in the capital markets. ("What did Donna Rice say when the reporters caught her leaving Gary Hart's house? She said she was taking a poll. <hyuk!>) The joke appeared on the Morgan Stanley equity trading desk no more than 15 minutes after the story hit the Reuter's newswire. In that time, the joke was thought up, somewhere in the world, and disseminated all over, ending up in the midwestern hinterlands of Chicago, by way of London. Since trading desks talk to each other with direct lines, the network formed by them is a geodesic one, even though people are the "switches".
