Did Cory Booker's imaginary drug dealer pal ever meet Barack Obama's composite girlfriend?
How cute, Cory's got an imaginary playmate!
Sources tell National Review Online that the central character in one of Booker's oft-repeated stories — T-Bone, the drug pusher who the mayor has said threatened his life at one turn and sobbed on his shoulder the next — is a figment of his imagination, even though Booker has talked about him in highly emotional terms and in great detail.
The tale is one Booker admits he's told a "million" times, according to the Newark Star Ledger. Ronald Rice Jr., a Newark city councilman and Booker ally who has known the mayor since 1998, says the T-Bone story was a "fixture" of Booker's unsuccessful 2002 mayoral bid against corrupt Newark political boss Sharpe James, perhaps for its symbolic value. In Booker's mind, according to the city councilman, "It's not so much the details of the story" that matter, but the principle that "these things happen, they happen to real people, they happen in the city of Newark."
Now where have we heard the line of BS before? Oh, yeah. "Fake, but Accurate!"
If "these things" happen to "real people" perhaps Cory could introduce us to them? But no, he's gotta make up a guy who's presumably more interesting than any of the "real people" he meets.
Much like Barack Obama's composite girlfriend. Remember her? I'm sure the media would rather that you didn't.
What matters, of course, is The Narrative, not the facts. Facts that don't advance The Narrative are ignored, replaced by anecdotes which do advance The Narrative, but may, or more likely may not, be true.
Truth, the post-modernalists will tell us, is relative anyway. Cory Booker believes his imaginary drug-dealer friend is real, and so Real he is. That's Cory's "truth," and who are we to judge unless we've imagined walking a mile in his shoes?
Except, and I'm just throwing this out there, our nation is facing Real Problems. We don't need imaginary solutions pitched by a guy who can't keep his stories straight. Maybe that stuff plays well on Twitter but it sure isn't working out so well for the poseur occupying the Resolute Desk.
So, let's put Cory Booker in an Imaginary Senate (he'll feel right at home!)
and send Steve Lonegan to Washington to represent the Real People of New Jersey.
