Hoo boy: Guardian sources claim Jeff Bezos’s phone was hacked by … the crown prince of Saudi Arabia

Someone on Twitter a few days ago remarked that the virtual reality which we all now inhabit seems to have only 40 or so major characters. The cast of players in every major news story is drawn from that same pool of 40: Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary, James Comey, about 35 others. Somehow, at some point, Michael Avenatti made it into the group; there s a new story about him on the wires right now, naturally. This Bezos/MBS thing seems to confirm the theory. Whoever s writing this sh*tshow we now live in wanted a plot line in which one character hacks another character s phone. And they had only 40 possibilities to choose from.

This is the pairing we got.

Be grateful. It could have been Taylor Swift hacking Putin s phone or something like that.

Usually I find the humor on Hot Air a bit, mmm, contrived. But this is actually somewhat funny and strangely truthy.
