Phillip Toledano - Phonesex series no.5

1 save http://www.mrtoledano.com/phonesex/04

Just last night I received possibly the most disturbing phone-sex call I’d had in a long time.

A caller shot himself with me on the phone.

The unmistakable sound of a gun-shot followed by the heavy and wet sound of a body falling with a thud to the floor.

Things like this always scare me.

My current track record stands at one confession of incestuous sexual abuse, being asked to perform fellatio on my younger brother, and two other suicides.

Merriam-Webster defines a “confidence man” as “a swindler who exploits the confidence of his victim.” Suskind’s definition is more subtle. “Confidence is the public face of competence,” Suskind writes. “Separating the two—gaining the trust without earning it—is the age-old work of confidence men.”

Marbury: Ed Miliband, confidence man

the best politicians combine personal self-confidence with a seething anxiety about their own prospects. Read Alastair Campbell's memoir of the opposition years and you get a picture of Blair that didn't come across so much in public, as a driven, obsessive worrier, calling aides at 4am, rewriting speeches thirty times, convincing himself, even when ahead in the polls, that defeat was imminent.

Clive James on the West Wing

Bartlet’s intelligence, though plainly an idealized exaggeration, is not impossibly out of scale with Clinton’s. As Sidney Blumenthal’s bulky but civilized book The Clinton Years reveals, Clinton’s real-life West Wing was alive with social concern and productive argument, and the man who energized the troops was Clinton himself.
