Here’s the excruciatingly bad puff piece that former NYT reporter Landon Thomas wrote, shortly after Epstein’s guilty plea in 2008

Sitting on his patio on "Little St. Jeff's" in the Virgin Islands several months ago, as his legal troubles deepened, Mr. Epstein gazed at the azure sea and the lush hills of St. Thomas in the distance, poked at a lunch of crab and rare steak prepared by his personal chef, and tried explain how his life had taken such a turn. He likened himself to Gulliver shipwrecked among the diminutive denizens of Lilliput. "Gulliver's playfulness had unintended consequences," Mr. Epstein said. "That is what happens with wealth. There are unexpected burdens as well as benefits." Jail will certainly be a big change. Mr. Epstein is a man of precise, at times unconventional, habits. He starts his mornings with a secret-ingredient bran muffin prepared by his chef. He seems to have a germ phobia. He never wears a suit, preferring monogrammed sweatsuits and jeans. And he rarely attends meetings "I never have to be anywhere," he tells his pilots, when he cautions them to avoid flying through chancy weather. Looking back, Mr. Epstein admits that his behavior was inappropriate. "I am not blameless," he said. He said he has taken steps to make sure the same thing never happens again. For starters, Mr. Epstein has hired a full-time male masseur (the man happens to be a former Ultimate Fighting champion). He also has organized what he calls a board of directors of friends to counsel him on his behavior.

In some ways this says so much more about how ineffective the dem opposition is. The fact that they can’t find a way to counterpunch against this idiot and his toddler brain is just sad
