Four to 12 for District Sodomization
Frank Tassone, the disgraced former Roslyn, Long Island, school superintendent who stole a fortune from the district and spent it on expensive trips to the Caribbean, gambling junkets to Vegas, luxury autos, fancy skin treatments, and gifts for his longtime lover was sentenced yesterday.NY Times story is here, but under the rules of Gray Lady journalism, the Times isn't really able to tell the story in an authentic way that respects the victims in the case. You have to go to the tabloids for that. (Photo from NY Post.)
"Pathetic shell of his former arrogant self..."
"Sloppy and sniveling..."
Gotta love justice. The judge in the case called Tassone a "traitor," but the best the Times could do on it own was to call him "the once-adored superintendent." Note to the Sulzberger family: If it walks like a scumbag and quacks like a scumbag, the newspaper of record can surely get away with calling the chap a scumbag.
