Almost Famous! CNN Mentions Myopic Zeal
On today’s Inside Politics, Jacki Schechner gave us our 15 minutes… well, ok, 15 seconds … of fame.
WOODRUFF: According to a new report, dozens of convicted sex offenders in New York are taking Viagra, and Medicaid is paying the bill. The story is sparking a great deal of anger and getting a lot of attention in cyberspace.
Let’s check in now with CNN political producer Abbi Tatton, and Jacki Schechner, our blog reporter.
Hi, Jacki.
JACKI SCHECHNER, CNN BLOG REPORTER: Hi, Judy.
What does this mean? It means a lot of high-level sex offenders are getting Viagra, and you are paying for it. It’s outrage on all sides of the blogs.
We start today at MyopicZeal.blogsome.com. This is Eric, who is a programmer in the Midwest. Named his blog, by the way, for the phrase “myopic zeal” that came out in the Rather-gate report. But he has a roundup of blog reaction to issues, and today he links to one blog called ondogriver.net.
This is Mark Jones, who is a political Independent. He’s a Navy veteran and has a story which he admits might be too much information, but says at one point he did need Viagra after surgery and he was unable to get it paid for because he’s a veteran under the care of the Department of Veteran Affairs Medical. Says that his doctor did give him a private prescription, but wondering if this means that America’s veterans are of a lower priority than convicted sex offenders.
