Making Stuff Up

Today's Wally is interesting. While he is completely correct in what passes for analysis about the brouhaha concerning the FOIA request about Danny Nutt's continued connection with the program despite his being retired for medical reasons, he lapses into his usual attempt to play both hands against the middle so as to not offend whoever may wind up the winner in the ongoing psychodrama that is the football program at Arkansas.

Houston Nutt has suggested that Danny would be a prime candidate for a counselor's job up there. Maybe he would. Who knows? Wally thinks it's a good idea. In fact, this is today's column.

As you can see, according to Wally, all that Danny Nutt has to do if a) the position is created and b) assuming Danny Nutt would want to work for somebody that may-or may not- have canned his brother and c) despite these apparent obstacles:

"All he would need to do is apply... then hold steady through any time the position has to advertised."

Here's my question that should crank up any haters that might read this:

Wally! How do you know that Danny Nutt will be "pre-selected" as we say in litigation over these issues? For a position that does not exist (That was a Wallyesque sentence I apologize). Have you actually interviewed a source ? You say this is the way stuff works in government. Yeah, it does on the QT sometimes. But if you know that the fix is in for Danny Nutt for a position that so far does not exist, which I can't believe you actually think, you ought to do some journalism before you make shit up.

Either way, today's offering was pretty chickenshit even for you.
