Jayson Blair: Life Coach

You saying Obama, Koppel and Tony Robbins aren't really his references?

 

A dose of that ol' Southern guilt can go a long, long way.

 

Couldn't say it better myself, so I won't try.

 

Some might be seeking career counseling, including corporate executives from the Dulles technology corridor seeking advancement — a natural for Blair, who schmoozed his way through newsroom politics to land a premier reporting gig in his mid-20s without a college degree.

Is this AP or The Onion?

 

How do his clients know he's not making it up as he goes?

 

The guy's a con man, plain and simple.

 

Aren't all life coaches con artists in one way or another?

 

Just because he is has no journalistic skills, dresses like a buffoon and is a former crackhead does not mean he shouldn't be on ESPN.

 

Just like most folk heroes started out as criminals.

 

Someone wrote a comment saying that some of the most fucked up people make some of the best mental health professionals.

Then there's Jayson Blair.

I have first hand knowledge that guy is a piece of work. I wouldn't make him my life coach if the fate of western civilization depended upon it.

 

If SPY magazine were around, the first thing it would do is send one of its writers undercover to get coached by Blair.

This is a farce just waiting to be written.
