Filed under: General — Patterico @ 11:24 am



I am working today, and probably cannot post. To tide you over, here are a couple three fun quotes that may or may not have been said by anyone, and/or which may or may not bear on all this. More to follow.

Quote #1:

well i left my cape at home today but i might have my tights on that’s our secret ok?

Quote #2:

Once I had the info, I would undertake whatever steps requiretd to confirm it’s validity, as best I could.

Quote #3:

. . . Steve L. Cope, Gabrielle R. Corrigan . . .

Chew on those for a while.

  1. Down the rabbit hole . . .

    Patterico (135ea8)

  2. I don’t know just a whole lot about rabbit holes but I’m all for confirming it is validity.

    happyfeet (3c92a1)

  3. The Winter Dean’s list of a community college….somewhere.

    MayBee (081489)

  4. The internet is a hall of mirrors, and we are through the looking glass.

    SarahW (af7312)

  5. So who are those people? I am resisting the impulse to search.

    SarahW (af7312)

  6. “The Winter Dean’s list of a community college….somewhere.

    Comment by MayBee ”

    Quote 3:

    Shows that GNC is not on the Deans list at Whatcom Community College….. a little Patterico joke that she’s not as smart as she think she is?

    Auntie Social Disorder (e71ad9)

  7. Her name got skipped, she ought to look into that.

    SarahW (af7312)

  8. Maybe she got a bad grade in gym and it pulled down her average.

    SarahW (af7312)

  9. Gabby would be Gennette? It’s the whatcom deans list writers

    Or GC didn’t make the cut

    Lord Nazh (821ae1)

  10. A thought – most people wouldn’t recognize my kid on the Dean’s list because his legal first name is not his “name-name” Like his grandfather and great-grandfather we call him by his middle name. No one but admissions officers and insurance clerks and the like know his first name.

    SarahW (af7312)

  11. Auntie Social Disorder,

    No, she’s plenty smart enough to make the dean’s list at a community college.

    Patterico (135ea8)

  12. Even his grandmother couldn’t find him on the honors list at first.

    SarahW (af7312)

  13. Patrick do you have anything else to suggest she doesn’t attend there?

    Like I said, my own kid’s grandmother couldn’t find him on the honors list because of the first-name/middle-name thing.

    SarahW (af7312)

  14. Also, my kid made the honors list.

    SarahW (af7312)

  15. She was answering questions in the other thread and then disk-appeared right quick when I asked if she had dropped her classes, how her grades were, etc.

    Patterico (135ea8)

  16. Also the Fall 2010 Dean’s List.

    MayBee (081489)

  17. I guess my proferred excuse doesn’t work as there is no matching surname on the list as there has been in my son’s case.

    But here is another one to dispose of – My kid’s school splits apart the deans list and the honors list. Does Whatcom do that?

    SarahW (af7312)

  18. Not enrolled?

    MayBee (081489)

  19. Sarah- this appears to be a first/middle/last name thing.

    MayBee (081489)

  20. I always thought the doing classes by email, etc sounded a little hokey. It was right at the end of the year anyway.

    Rocks (5241c6)

  21. That’s a big bold lie she would have told.

    With “I had to drop my classes” suspect especially if it was given as response to pressure to reveal her course of study or professors or whatnot and you think one of her more surly classmates would have used Gennette tales to take care of admission next quarter.

    SarahW (af7312)

  22. well i left my cape at home today but i might have my tights on that’s our secret ok?

    Ugh. Please tell me that wasn’t to an apparent kid. Because ‘I didn’t think she was telling the truth about being a kid’ is a piss poor excuse.

    Patterico: Gennette told me she was able to finish (some of?) her classes by taking classwork home, thanks to professors making special accommodations.

    And I agree with P that she’s got no lack of brainpower. I just don’t know where this story is going. If it turns out Gennette is behind all of this as some kind of prank, my head will pop open like a dry watermelon. If she’s Lee’s theoretical jilted girlfriend too (which I don’t think anyone’s saying) [insert metaphor for extreme shock].

    Dustin (c16eca)

  23. But Gabrielle Corrigan did make the Dean’s List for winter quarter (article published April 7):

    http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/04/07/1616998/whatcom-community-college-names.html

    Is “Gennette Cordova” really Gabrielle Corrigan?

    ????????

    Miranda (4104db)

  24. Comment by Dustin — 6/26/2011 @ 11:48 am

    Maybe her sting was a student project. Maybe there’s a teacher/mentor involved.

    Rocks (5241c6)

  25. I work within the community and technical college system in Washington – which includes Whatcom CC, as well as the other 33. I can think of specific instances where a person’s name would not appear in any list on the college’s website, or in ‘press releases’ of Dean’s or President’s Lists, student directories etc. There are legitimate reasons. That’s all I’ll say about that for now, because I don’t want to give anyone an ‘easy out’ to use to explain anything away.

    RB (3a32bf)

  26. Quote #2 does sound like it comes from student report or something explaining procedure.

    This was all a journalism class project?

    Rocks (5241c6)

  27. Execute program jabu jabu. The red fox is at station Q. Defang all cowboys. over.

    oneisnotprime (6af25e)

  28. But But – Patrick, what about this?

    http://www.whatcomhorizon.com/?s=cordova&x=22&y=12

    The Whatcom newspaper claims her for their own.

    SarahW (af7312)

  29. Maybe her sting was a student project. Maybe there’s a teacher/mentor involved.

    Comment by Rocks — 6/26/2011 @ 11:51 am

    Interesting theory. If so (and I find this a bit implausible, though no worse than any other theory I know of) both their names should be mud now, since Ethel is a real person, and this is not a joke or project for law enforcement or the general public.

    Is “Gennette Cordova” really Gabrielle Corrigan?

    ????????

    Comment by Miranda

    Do you have a damn good reason to suspect that? That’s a real person, after all. If you don’t have a good reason, let’s not throw innocent people to the wolves just until they prove themselves innocent.

    No disrespect intended, but that’s not productive or really fair. This isn’t Nancy Grace.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  30. Isn’t Cordova a real person, anyway? How could someone steal her identify for this long without the real one shutting it down?

    Dustin (c16eca)

  31. At least, the Gennette Cordova who has been posting here, and whom I talked to on the phone, is smart enough to make the dean’s list.

    Patterico (135ea8)

  32. Miranda,

    I agree. I don’t like tossing out random names.

    I suspect there is an innocent explanation for this odd fact. But it is interesting.

    Perhaps GennetteC can explain. More facts are always better!

    Patterico (135ea8)

  33. Did the original quote have the typo, too? Oh, wait, that’s actually not important, is it?

    I like the way you think, Rocks. I could see a journo class-inspired project being involved. Perhaps one gone wrong? Now, go DM me with your other theories. I’ll give you lawyer-like privilege. ; )

    Lizbuddie (133456)

  34. Enough already, Dustin. You have a habit of coming on here & starting fights.

    I asked a question – I clearly did not make an accusation. Patterico put the name up in his post.

    There’s a Gabrielle Corrigan who’s an Irish Dancer in the Bellingham area.

    http://www.cycbellingham.org/apr10nl.pdf

    Miranda (4104db)

  35. Patterico, perhaps – she did have her byline pulled for a while – maybe she had her deans list mention for spring redacted?

    In the alternative, she did not have enough hours to qualify?

    SarahW (af7312)

  36. Yes, and Gabriele C. in NO way resembles GennetteC

    SarahW (af7312)

  37. By not enough hours – at my kid’s school, part time students are not put on the list.

    SarahW (af7312)

  38. What are the rules for Dean’s list at Whatcom?

    SarahW (af7312)

  39. ‘Is “Gennette Cordova” really Gabrielle Corrigan?’

    I think Pattericos point is that Cordova name would have showed up between those two names on that list.

    http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/04/07/1616998/whatcom-community-college-names.html

    tier (4a939c)

  40. Patterico, perhaps – she did have her byline pulled for a while – maybe she had her deans list mention for spring redacted?

    The deans list for fall 2010 did not mention her either.

    MayBee (081489)

  41. Oh, btw, this makes the cap-and-tights bit to three different chicks, right? Did that line really work that well for Weiner? More likely, his narcissism is only fooling him into believing it is. Oh, you just know he makes Huma play “Superman” with him in the bedroom.

    Sorry I made you envision that.

    Lizbuddie (133456)

  42. I agree. I don’t like tossing out random names.

    By putting their names in the body of the post with ellipsis and no explanation or context, isn’t that essentially tossing out random names to us? (Clearly not to you as I assume you know the context and meaning of said names).

    Dana (4eca6e)

  43. Also, the Winter Quarter Deans list was published April 7 at the Bellingham Herald.

    MayBee (081489)

  44. We are all talking about real people here, aren’t we? Real people sent those texts. A real person sent the threatening email messages. A real person called Lee.

    Quite a coincidence if Patterico came across the Corrigan name, and then she’s on the Dean’s List at the same community college Cordova has attended. Just curious.

    The spring quarter at WhatCom started April 5 & ended June 17. Summer session starts July 5.

    http://www.whatcom.ctc.edu/degrees-and-programs/calendars/registration-calendar-spring/

    Miranda (4104db)

  45. The reason those two names are given is because it shows a gap alphabetically.

    MayBee (081489)

  46. Here are the rules for Dean’s list at WhatcomCC

    The Dean’s List is a Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarterly roll of full-time students who have satisfactorily completed a minimum of 12 credits in which:

    Letter grades with grade point values have been assigned
    Students have earned a minimum 3.50 quarterly grade point average

    Official withdrawals that occur during the first 20 calendar days are disregarded.

    SarahW (af7312)

  47. So if she were attending part-time for any reason, she would be excluded from the list.

    SarahW (af7312)

  48. MayBee,

    Well, yes, and Cordova is not there…but what is the larger meaning?

    No matter what it is, I can’t help but think Ms. C is giggling as she continues to exercise her power over readers.

    Dana (4eca6e)

  49. Or, if she were taking 12 hours or more but some were pass/fail or audit or non-credit courses, she would also be excluded.

    Also maybe calculus isn’t her thing.

    SarahW (af7312)

  50. The Whatcom Horizon newspaper insists she is a Whatcom student…

    SarahW (af7312)

  51. Enough already, Dustin. You have a habit of coming on here & starting fights.

    No I don’t, actually. I had a specific criticism of Lee, who I think you’re a fan of, and Patterico asked me to take it easy on him, and I agreed to.

    I’ve been nothing but polite to you, and would appreciate it if you treated me as I treat you. As I specifically said, I intended no disrespect to you when I noted that’s a real person you’re ‘just asking questions’ about. I don’t want people doing that to me, and I try (with very mixed results) to live by the golden rule.

    If I wanted to be less than respectful towards you, you would know it. Again, no disrespect intended, and it would be a mistake to read too much into me. You’ll probably get to know me better if you stick around after this story goes away and we’re back to the DRJ, Karl, Jack Dunphy style of coverage that is my preference (but certainly not my place to demand). If you do, you’ll see that I am not saying something for the sole purpose of picking a fight.

    Anyway, let’s leave that drama, ok? I’m not your enemy, and I’m sure you’re a nice person who just has a bad first impression of me.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  52. Every time I think I know something, I’m proven wrong in this debacle.

    Interesting fact- Best I can tell- GNCs byline at the Horizon school paper only starts to appear in March 2011.

    Auntie Social Disorder (e71ad9)

  53. GennetteC could explain it, but you’re just too old to understand it.

    Tutu (54ce64)

  54. The reason those two names are given is because it shows a gap alphabetically.

    Comment by MayBee

    Right. Someone clever enough to orchestrate this nonsense would probably be much more careful about their pseudonym anyway.

    But I admit, I do not follow most of these clues.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  55. So there were other people at her college involved?
    1 male 1 female
    Ms Corrigan is interested in hollywood agents?

    Miikeb (b3b2ad)

  56. That’s Western Washington University.

    Lots of Whatcom students transfer there eventually – in that 2008 article, the “Gennette Cordova in it is listed as a sophomore

    SarahW (af7312)

  57. In our system, Dean’s Lists, President’s Lists, etc are considered ‘Directory Information’ – meaning they don’t fall under FERPA, however a student may request that even ‘Directory Information’ not be released as well. Just food for thought.

    RB (3a32bf)

  58. On Facebook, is there a setting so people who are not your friends can see your basic profile page, but not see if you have any friends?

    MayBee (081489)

  59. That Gennette Cordova notes her parents are struggling to pay tuition.

    She might be taking a course or two part time at the community college to further her career path in a new direction.

    She *is* an older community college student. Did money get tight so that she had to drop out of WWU?

    SarahW (af7312)

  60. We college kids are so much smarter than those right-wing fuddy-duddies.

    Now Rep Weiner – he’s our hero. He’s our Super Hero, slicing & dicing dopey Michele Bachmann & Megyn Kelly & all those crazy tea-baggers.

    Who cares if he got a little flirty with us? But, oh, what Fox News would do if they knew that Weiner got just a little inappropriate with us. Who can blame him – he’s under so much pressure. He has so much work to do for us!

    How can we stop those mean Rethugglikans from entrapping our hero? Hmmmm …..

    Miranda (4104db)

  61. Maybee I seem to recall a feature that hides select groups of friends from other friends. I don’t really know how it works.

    SarahW (af7312)

  62. She *is* an older community college student. Did money get tight so that she had to drop out of WWU?

    Not really. Not in this state. She’s about average.

    RB (3a32bf)

  63. It sounds like Gennette withdrew from classes when the Weiner story broke. I believe Gennette when she says the college made arrangements to complete her courses outside the classroom, but that clearly happened after she quit going to class. In addition, the arrangements may be taking a while to implement, complete and grade … and may well impact her eligibility for things like the honor roll.

    DRJ (fdd243)

  64. What am I missing here. This Jun 9 article directly refers to the Weinergate Cordova as a Western Washington University student.

    “The Seattle woman who was sent a lewd photo from Rep. Anthony Weiner tells The New York Times she didn’t even get the joke.

    “I still didn’t get the joke part of it,” Western Washington University student Gennette Cordova told The NYT. ” http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=189&sid=495194

    SarahW (af7312)

  65. Hmm ok so after reading through the comments, GennetteC is not on the list. She would be listed under Bellingham, so the woman you talked to is not the same?

    Miikeb (b3b2ad)

  66. At comment #170 on the “JohnReid …” post Patterico specifically referenced WhatCom.

    Two puppetmasters, working in concert? Giving out conflicting info to media?

    Miranda (4104db)

  67. Tuition at WWU is 5500 per year for state residents.

    Whatcom is much cheaper.

    But are we saying that Ms. Cordova does not merit any financial aid?

    Sorry, but I smell prevarication.

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  68. “You must kill this infidel now. You know that you cannot Marry ze Weiner if you are a Muslim. What would ze brother and his Brotherhood say?”

    goatsred (c1f2f8)

  69. I know the AP listed her as a WSU student once, too. Then they “corrected” it to WWU.

    Blind Melon Squeezer (7391dd)

  70. oops..wrong thread. My bad.

    goatsred (c1f2f8)

  71. Actually, looking at the actual numbers at age 21, she is actually well below the average age for a student at that particular college.

    RB (7391dd)

  72. DRJ,

    That seems like a good explanation. But the last day to withdraw from classes was May 27. So there would have to be special accommodations made, no?

    Patterico (135ea8)

  73. I found about 30 boohillion (post-weiner) articles that say Gennette is a WWU student, some correcting from “Washington state).

    Interesting that she was a sophomore at WWU in 2008.

    SarahW (af7312)

  74. Patterico, my kid’s school will also make special accomodations in special circumstances. That’s not a big surprise or cause for suspicion in itself.

    SarahW (af7312)

  75. As someone who just graduated from college, I don’t think her age is odd to be in college (at all).

    Also, it’s possible where I live (FL) to actually be a student at more than 1 school (I’ve had friends do it). For example, if a community college offers the same class as a state university, the credits transfer very easily. People use do this because of cost or location.

    I also agree that her story about her professors letting her finish classes from home is entirely possible (esp. considering the semester was almost over). Of course, it would be dependent on her specific professors but I don’t think it’s far fetched (at all). I had a classmate do something similar when she was ill for a long period of time.

    Kristina (0ca6be)

  76. Whatcom and WWU have a joint program. Maybe she has moved on from Whatcom to WWU?

    Western Washington University and Whatcom Community College are pleased to offer a Global Partnership to serve the interests of international students who earn their transferable associate degree at Whatcom and wish to earn their bachelor’s degree at Western.

    The correction referred to earlier was a report that originally said she went to Washington State, and was later corrected.

    Jan (fd5949)

  77. She must have been at WWU and then moved to Whatcom & attended part time for some reason. Also something happening in June wouldn’t have anything to do with the winter Dean’s List would it?
    It says you need to be taking at least 14 hours to make it. Maybe she wasn’t.

    Rocks (5241c6)

  78. That seems like a good explanation. But the last day to withdraw from classes was May 27. So there would have to be special accommodations made, no?

    Good points. However, it also depends on the type of class she was attending – fully on-campus, Hybrid, or online. Even a fully on-campus course may use Angel Learning or other online tools as part of the course work, which makes allowing a student to not attend courses while still performing course work and tests/final exams fairly simple to do. Faculty are given a lot of leeway in this area.

    RB (3a32bf)

  79. Sarah W, do you have a link for the WWU connection? And does all that fit with her current age?

    As for special “deals,” sure, most colleges are the Land of the Petition. Especially if there is a political dimension that fits Teh Narrative.

    But getting genital photography from a pervy congresscritter? Um.

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  80. Maybe she was originally a student at WCC, transferred to WWU when she was eligible, but still writes/wrote for the Horizon at WCC. I could see that as a real possibility.

    Or maybe Patterico’s cryptic quotes have absolutely nothing to do with what school she attends/attended. Maybe it refers to something completely different.

    Was she ever quoted as saying she was Dean’s List at WCC?

    Jan (fd5949)

  81. Also, it’s possible where I live (FL) to actually be a student at more than 1 school (I’ve had friends do it). For example, if a community college offers the same class as a state university, the credits transfer very easily. People use do this because of cost or location.

    True. Between direct transfer agreements, common course numbering, and other things, it would be possible to attend both at the same time, or leave the university and go back to the CC for a while, then back to Western. I have not looked too closely, but I would imagine that Whatcom College and Western have some DTAs in place as well, depending on the program/degree/major, which means that many courses she takes at Whatcom would transfer back to Western when she’s ready to go back.

    RB (3a32bf)

  82. RB, you are right, but the amount of work necessary for the faculty (and take a look at the faculty:student ratio at Whatcom) is more pertinent.

    It’s possible. But Ms. Cordova seems to have been spending quite a bit of time posting snarky games here instead of finishing her coursework past quitting classes, yes?

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  83. The quotes are given in that order for a reason.

    Tutu (54ce64)

  84. Tutu – Why do you say that? Is that speculation, inference, or an informed statement?

    Jan (fd5949)

  85. Maybe GC was just exaggerating for the media – which of course would surprise none of us.

    She could have been a WhatCom student & planning to transfer to WWU, which has a Journalism program.

    http://www.wwu.edu/depts/journalism/

    And she could be taking WWU courses through WhatCom. None of that is unusual. WhatCom doesn’t have a journalism program, of course – it offers an Associate Degree in Arts & Science – a 2 yr program.

    http://www.whatcom.ctc.edu/degrees-and-programs/

    Plus they have lots of options for distance learning etc.

    Miranda (4104db)

  86. but still writes/wrote for the Horizon at WCC. I could see that as a real possibility.

    IIRC, that is an actual for-credit class @WCC.

    RB (3a32bf)

  87. “well i left my cape at home today but i might have my tights on that’s our secret ok?”

    Hmmm…What if this quote accompanied the underwear pic – perhaps in a separate DM or IM message. I could see AW saying something like this – referring to his briefs as his “tights”. And as for asking to keep it a secret? Well that fits too, particularly if he knew, or suspected, that he was communicating with a minor.

    Jan (fd5949)

  88. And gosh! Where did Ms. Cordova go, with her snarky humor about old fogies?

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  89. “Once I had the info, I would undertake whatever steps requiretd to confirm it’s validity, as best I could.”

    Don’t really know what to say about this, other than that it is a particularly poorly written sentence.

    Jan (fd5949)

  90. well i left my cape at home today but i might have my tights on that’s our secret ok?

    The cutting room floor title for the RAW picture on the cover of the National Enquirer?

    ltw (370236)

  91. In addition, the arrangements may be taking a while to implement, complete and grade … and may well impact her eligibility for things like the honor roll.

    I agree, DRJ, but this was for the Winter quarter. The list was published in April. I isn’t for the quarter that just finished.

    MayBee (081489)

  92. So what’s with the extensive Michael Barbaro interview Gennette mentioned that she gave? (this was on the other thread although she did not say when she talked to him.) He’s actually a pretty good reporter at the NYT.

    elissa (c3a242)

  93. MayBee,

    I missed that. Good point. If she didn’t make the honor roll — and lots of people don’t — perhaps her talents are in reading people and she isn’t as book smart as Patterico thinks.

    DRJ (fdd243)

  94. Comment by elissa — 6/26/2011 @ 1:36 pm

    Probably for this article but they didn’t use much from her:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/09/nyregion/weiners-pattern-turning-political-admirers-into-online-pursuits.html

    Rocks (5241c6)

  95. DRJ- Yes, that could very well be.
    I’m interested to see where this is going.

    MayBee (081489)

  96. I don’t get the whole GC thing. Why would it matter if her name didn’t appear on the dean’s list?

    koam (7c1f46)

  97. I don’t get the whole GC thing. Why would it matter if her name didn’t appear on the dean’s list?

    Comment by koam — 6/26/2011 @ 1:49 pm

    I’m thinking Patterico thinks the GC of twitter fame is not the actual voice of GC the Non-dean’s List, hack of a speller Comm College student.

    Rocks (5241c6)

  98. ==Comment by Rocks — 6/26/2011 @ 1:46 pm==

    Thanks, Rocks, you’re probably right. I guess I assumed she was referring to a more recent conversation she’d had with him. I was probably just hoping maybe he’d do a follow up article.

    elissa (c3a242)

  99. I don’t think it matters whether Gennette made an honor roll, and I doubt it matters to Patterico except as a way to question whether she’s still a student or how good a student she is. But lots of average students end up with successful careers and happy lives and, whatever her grades, Gennette may as well.

    DRJ (fdd243)

  103. I have heard quote #1 before but I cannot remember the context.

    If Gennette was attending classes last quarter or the quarter before, online or whatever, she was not necessarily a full time student. Part time students are excluded from the Dean’s list no matter how well they do in classes.

  105. Why would GC be liking the Buckley school? Because she was buddying up to her trollpals? You think she goes there or knows someone besides the sock-gals who claimed to attend?

    SarahW (af7312)

  106. I mean, do you think she ever attended B school?

    SarahW (af7312)

  107. I mean, would Super-detective Gennette have “liked” Buckley school because,” Nikki told GEnnette her that Nikki was attending The Buckley School around the time Nikki dunned Weiner for a promdate? ( Gennette has said that happened, somewhere or other.)

    SarahW (af7312)

  108. Sarah W, That is the sort of thing that tells me Gennette is more involved with the socks than she claims.

    tier (4a939c)

  109. Can anybody find out the date she “liked” Buckley?

    SarahW (af7312)

  110. I was not technically a full-time student so I would have been excluded from this list. Having said that, if I had been full time I wouldn’t have been on the list anyway.
    I have difficulties with the traditional structure of college. And that was true of my time at WWU as well.
    In fact, had it not been for my test taking abilities I probably would have flunked out a long time ago.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  111. DRJ #100: true enough, and kindly put. But the real issue, I believe, is that the Gennette Cordova who was attending Whatcom Community College may not be the Genette Cordova who is posting here, and to whom several people on this blog have spoken.

    I truly do suspect some weird “psychops” in play, for reasons I cannot fathom. Why protect a pervert?

    Oh, that’s right: a champion of the progressive Left who happens to also be a pervert.

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  112. DRJ, Patterico…recall what I wrote separately to you both, re: #111.

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  113. Gennette, I’m just going to say it. You are full of sh!t, and I believe very little of what you say. You are playing games, and you (if you are the same Gennette of tweeted dicpics)had a much more extensive relationship with teh weiner than you’ve said. You are, also, heavily invested in some way with the “Reids”.

    When you are asked questions that may expose you if you give the wrong answer, you disappear, then come back with “answers” that you think will pass the smell test.

    At this point, very little of what you profess still passes the smell test. At least to me.

    Susie Q (653074)

  114. I think Patterico was a little mean to community colleges, BTW. Many have better quality instruction (hands-on prof rather than auditorium and teaching assistants) and every bit as much rigor as the general education requirements at 4 year universities. It’s a good value if one is selective.

    My mother taught science courses at JohnTyler for years and her students ranged from wash-out to brilliant, but the basic frosh and soph coursework was as rigorous as any place, and the nursing programs very demanding.

    SarahW (af7312)

  115. Patterico: Gennette told me she was able to finish (some of?) her classes by taking classwork home, thanks to professors making special accommodations

    Just came into this but also swore that I read her saying that she could also finish classes via email. That’s one hell of a school.

    goatsred (b20383)

  116. Gennette, what is with the Buckley School FB “like”?

    SarahW (af7312)

    I’m glad you feel so strongly about something:)

    Gennettec (255e41)

  118. The have online coursework there as at many other places. It’s all the rage.

    SarahW (af7312)

  119. Well, RE: community colleges, people can take their first two years here in California in community college and then transfer in the final two years at UC. I don’t know, maybe Washington has a similar program. People can take some (about half) of their course requirements at a community college to apply toward their degree at the state university. Other colleges and universities might accept CC credits, too. (private schools often don’t, though).

    Where is Orson Bean when we need him?

    Jan (fd5949)

  121. And CC work here can often be done with “online” courses rather than classroom study. In fact, a friend of mine who recently got a bachelors degree did a lot of his work on online courses.

    crosspatch (6adcc9)

  122. It seems to me that GC is the only person besides Weiner and the porn star in this fiasco whose identifications are known. I don’t really see why her dean’s list status really matters. In fact, I think delving into trivial stuff like that makes it less likely that other people involved would really want to step into the light.

    As for the others, I think they were trolling each other, they were trolling Weiner, now they’re trolling Patterico.

    I mean, haven’t you considered that they’re just feeding you stuff (even if they are actual DMs of fake personas talking to each other or real people) to get you to act like there is some scoop here and you’re figuring something out when it is all just amusing to them?

    You can’t look at a fb page unless you “like” it. I was checking up on the school that Nikki said she attended to see if they mentioned anything about prom.

  124. University of Richmond – about two or three catty-corner blocks from me offers a few specialized degree programs entirely online, and course work can be modified for people with special circumstance – assignments completed and submitted via email.

    Comment by Gennettec

    You mean you’d rather hang out on blogs late at night than do your homework? That’s 9/10ths of all college students.

    Suggestion: Do your homework, then blog or tweet or whatever.

    Show up for class. It actually works pretty well.

    Jan (fd5949)

  131. @Dianna
    Actually my blog visits are a recent development. But you’re right and thank you for your concern.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  132. Two things, friends and neighbors:

    1. For a person who was so hassled and fragile that she had to “quit coming to class” to finish all her classwork, Ms. Cordova sure seems to have time to play games on the internet.

    2. Patterico appears to know quite a bit more than he is letting on right now. It’s called giving these people sufficient rope, and I look forward to the final resolution of this bizarre little car wreck. It fits in with all the “young people are smarter” business. Pride goeth and all that.

    So yes, Ms. Cordova (if that is who you actually are), do have fun. For now. But don’t skimp on finishing those classes—remember that transcripts (and the internet) are forever!

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  133. @Dianna
    Can you look at the wall posts without “like”ing it? If you can, that’s news to me.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  134. Now I’m convinced that this is just a giant game of “To Tell The Truth” that Breitbart’s masterminded to get the show back on the air.

    Jan (fd5949)

  135. On Buckley’s home page, I typed “Prom” in the search box. Behold, many items on the prom appeared.

    Genette, you are not terribly good at searching, if I, of infamously weak google-fu, can find this in less than three minutes.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  136. DRJ and Patterico, re: #129—unlikely for the reasons I presented. That is the trouble with dishonest people; it catches up to them.

    Simon Jester (a9dd5a)

  137. Genette? Look at “related”; you don’t really have to “like” it.

    Further, the home page has much the same information, without the annoying cutesy teenager comments.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  138. @SimonJester

    My journalism teacher told reporters that I would not be coming back to class because reporters were showing up there everyday… sitting outside of my classes.
    I would never call or consider myself “fragile”.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  139. Oh, I would never dream of thinking so, ma’am.

    Except you are not being truthful. You and I both know it. And you are fooling no one.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  151. “I started out at WWU and then I attended WCC. Financial issues.”

    so claims Gennette at #128.

    And then:

    “My journalism teacher told reporters that I would not be coming back to class because reporters were showing up there everyday… sitting outside of my classes.”

    at #138.

    Nope Gennette – you screwed up. WCC doesn’t have a journalism program. I detailed this at my comment #86 above.

    You’ve been caught Gennette confabulating – once again.

    Miranda (4104db)

  152. Genette, that doesn’t scan.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  153. If one is checking out a school, particularly one like Buckley, which is K-12, you find out pretty fast exactly what the demographic is, and what kind of kids go there.

    What you cannot find, ever, is a comprehensive list of students, because that would be a breach of privacy that no school like that can afford.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  154. Miranda, she may have meant the pre-requisites for journalism. I had several pre-requisite for journalism(upper classmen were given preference) prior to taking the core journalism classes.

  165. Genette #162 – why would you use facebook? The home page has an “events” tab; that is a quick and easy way to verify the date of the prom.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  166. Nope Gennette – you screwed up. WCC doesn’t have a journalism program

    Actually, it does have a Journalism department, and “Journalism” is a Major you can declare. There is no “Journalism” degree exactly, but by declaring a major like that, it helps your education planning for transferring to a program at WWU, EWU, UW, etc.

    Seriously, if anyone has any questions at all about the community and technical college system in Washington State, I’ll be happy to answer them – provided they are not specific questions about a specific student.

    -And if Patterico wants me to verify that I do work within the system, I’ll be happy to provide him with a direct contact for me as long as my online anonymity is protected 🙂

    RB (382560)

  167. I was taking Writing for Mass Media and Journ 120 which is the paper staff. Both under Toby Sonnenman.
    Not that it matters but apparently you are all interested.
    My journalism teacher was getting calls from people asking her to confirm that my NYDN statement was my writing style, which she did.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  168. @Dianna
    Perhaps because I live on Facebook (another of my many flaws).

    Gennettec (255e41)

  169. Sarah W beat me to it. Whatcom does offer journalism courses. I went to a community college before transferring to where I am at now. I had to take courses in my major as well as general education courses, so it is possible that Gennette will take GE requirements, journalism department requirements, and any other department requirements that are required by wherever she wants to transfer. The not so fun part: each college is different in their transfer requirements.

  171. Hi Gennette,

    Welcome back and Happy belated 22nd Birthday!

    One thing in this whole #weinergate that continues to puzzle me was concerning the last communication you had with Rep. Weiner before he sent the package picture on May 27.

    We know he tweeted the #Thats545InSeattleIThink and that you retweeted it but there was a several hour gap before the fateful tweet that brought you into the public discussion.

    05/27/2011 16:00 @RepWeiner tweets that he is “Heading to 30 Rock to chat with Rachel at 9. #Thats545InSeattleIThink”
    05/27/2011 19:30 @GennetteNicole re-tweets @RepWeiner’s “30 Rock” message along with “#Thats545InSeattleIThink”

  172. Lord have mercy what is this Gennette rabbit hole you are running down.

    Of course GC is evasive on points of which we are all aware.

    But this “she is lying about her school” thing is stupid.

    You DO have to “like” a page to COMMENT on the wall. That is one reason to like the page.

    SarahW (af7312)

  173. I was curious about the Buckley school too, but her being interested after Nikki claimed that was her school is not something wildly inconsistent with previous statements or common sense.

    SarahW (af7312)

  174. But this “she is lying about her school” thing is stupid.

    This. I see lots of assumptions about Whatcom, and community colleges in general. Some are correct, others not so much.

    RB (382560)

  175. #169 Genette – “flaw”? Not necessarily, but it’s a very sloppy way to do research. Like using Wikipedia for anything but an initial bibliography list, facebook is not a research tool, merely a way to get a social sense of a person, place or activity.

    You were digging into people who might or might not be real students, and you relied on facebook? Doesn’t that seem really weak and careless?

    Dianna (f12db5)

  176. She answered all of these questions to Barbaro and Patterico and AW so STFU old people you just don’t understand because you grew up in a different generation that does not allow you to have special insight like Seattle Snooks.

    JD (85b089)

  177. And Gennette C, those “point” are everything, pretty much, that JD outlined.

    I wish you’d knock yourself out a little trying to answer.

    Comment by SarahW

    But, were I curious about a school, I’d first look up its web-page. I’m not arguing that she shouldn’t have been curious about Buckley School – currently, I’m reading up on their capital campaign for the performing arts building – but that 1) what she claimed was not true; and 2) that it’s just sloppy to use facebook when there’s so much other material, and most of it more reliable.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  181. @JoeSmith
    Thanks Joe. And it puzzles me also. We hadn’t communicated that day at all unless you count my retweet. I’m only answering that because you prefaced the inquiry with a “happy belated birthday” wish.
    Like I’ve said, I’m interested in finding info on the Reids, not answering questions about AW.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  182. Dianna, it occurs to me she might have looked at both. I know I did.

    SarahW (af7312)

  183. ike I’ve said, I’m interested in finding info on the Reids, not answering questions about AW.

    Or any contact with his staff after things became public.

    Kaisersoze (c86eb0)

  184. I wonder if GC asked a question on the Buckley wall?

    SarahW (af7312)

  185. SarahW – guaranteed she will not answer the questions I posed her. And, I guarantee Barbatro did not ask them. She is hiding behind an interview with the NYT because she got to exert some control over the Narrative. We are just a bunch of evil reichwingerz, who she owes nothing to.

    JD (306f5d)

  186. Sarah, if she did back in May, she’d have found the prom date quite easily – much more readily than trying to dig through facebook.

    Genette has not indicated that she looked at the web page. She has said she looked on fb, and had to “like” Buckley School to read (not comment, as you discovered) the wall.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  187. Comment by RB — 6/26/2011 @ 3:57 pm

    Wow it’s stunning that an amazing resource on such an obscure subject as yourself should turn up at such an opportune moment. Thanks

    Rocks (5241c6)

  188. She only wants to talk about tangential issues, not the central aspect of the story. You will be a fine JounoLista, GennetteC.

    JD (b98cae)

  189. Genette, everyone would like information on the “Reids”. However, we are a bit short of sources for that.

    About Weiner, we have you. So we are going to ask you about Weiner.

    Unfortunately, that is how the cookie crumbles.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  190. It strikes me as odd that a journalism major would avoid answering questions about the only part that makes her relevant to the story. And I’m 20, so there shouldn’t be any “generational gaps” to stifle my understanding. Clarity is welcome.

    rogerthat (f5aad4)

  191. O fcourse we can’t confirm Gennette did not “communicate” to AW 5/27 other than Gennette’s claim.

    We do know that Megan Broussard claimed she did and seems fairly close to time AW tweeted “#Thats545InSeattleIThink”:

    Miss Broussard said she received her last messages from Weiner on May 27, just hours before the scandal broke.

    ‘Are you offline?’ Miss Broussard wrote at 3:37 pm. ‘Crashed back up,’ Weiner replied at 4:21 pm.

  192. @JD
    I also guarantee that I will not answer your questions and I can do so without the burden of feeling like I’m being evasive. If you think that Barbaro in a 2 day interview didnt ask me every question about AW that you have and then some… you’re just not very bright.
    You should ask him yourself.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  193. Gennette,
    When Weiner was calling this a joke/prank was he really referring to what you all were doing with BFCrew & hopefully Breitbart if he bit?

    Rocks (5241c6)

  194. Gennette genuinely submitted,

    Why answer many of the questions (which I do appreciate), but selective on others as you indicated? Just the reasoning why?

    I also guarantee that I will not answer your questions and I can do so without the burden of feeling like I’m being evasive.

    az5thdstrct (e76e6a)

  195. Gennette,

    No problem but the timeing on May 27 does appear to be directly related to the Reid’s in the timeline.

    That’s why I asked, we know he had other DM conversations on May 27 and I was looking to confirm something relating to Nikki’s internet activity on that day.

    It strikes you as odd that I wouldn’t answer the questions of people commenting on a blog when I’ve done so for a NYT journalist? It strikes me as odd that that would strike anyone as odd.

    I won’t blame anyone for asking me questions… I just dont feel the need to answer. That’s all.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  198. Hi Gennette,

    While you’re here, I was wondering about something that might help clear up a matter.

    We all know now that “Ethel” is a real person. But prior to May 27th, did you ever suspect that “Ethel” could be a fake? And if so, did you ever relay those suspicions to AW?

    Thanks for answering so many questions from the peanut gallery

    scoovy (4b231a)

  199. I will not answer your questions and I can do so without the burden of feeling like I’m being evasive.

    That’s kind of the definition of evasive – avoiding natural questions that are very relevant to our understanding of a disgraced elected official. If he tried to conspire with you to hide a bad act, and you cover for him, you are evasive.

    People with nothing to hide, hide nothing. So you are of course lying by omission about a number of things.

    I can ALMOST believe it doesn’t burden you, but it does.

    SarahW (af7312)

  200. @az5thdstrct
    These are random strangers none of who care about my best interests. I know that people WANT me to answer questions about AW but is it really that weird that I wouldn’t want to for this particular crowd or the random commenters on any blog?
    The Today Show, Seattle Times, Inside Edition, etc etc have all been denied interviews. Does that make me feel evasive? Certainly not.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  201. So, you wish to talk about anything except your involvement, and you have conveniently scrubbed all of the documentation of your involvement, and will now hide behind the skirt of a sycophantic NYT reporter? How effing cute of you. this martyr victim thingie does not wear well on you.

    Rep Weiner (318f81)

  202. Genette – I think you have squandered a truly amazing amount of good will, actually. Pity about that.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  203. I’ve got a question for the lovely and talented Gennette. If you have done nothing wrong and have provided all the relevant information for public consumption – why wouldn’t you do an interview with someone like People magazine and make enough money to finish college anywhere you want?

    I would have killed for that opportunity when I was 20, I put myself through college waiting tables.

    Kaisersoze (c86eb0)

  204. Whether you feel evasive has nothing to do with you actually being evasive.

    JD (318f81)

  205. If you think that Barbaro in a 2 day interview didnt ask me every question about AW that you have and then some… you’re just not very bright.

    I notice you are pretending you ANSWERED every question, but this isn’t what you are really saying. By now I am able to predict how you will be evasive, and that’s how you did it in this case.

    You suggest you’ve already answered all these questions, so you tell JD you’re not really being evasive about them, but in fact, you are doing your best to appear to respond to queries that you, for some reason, want to hide the truthful answer to.

    I don’t really get it, though. If you’re not really a polite intelligent relatively normal person, you’re doing a good job faking it. The only thing weird about you is how evasive you are, particularly on the subject of the evasion.

    Oh well. Obviously you ignore points like this for the most part, and will continue participating to the extent you feel satisfied it looks like you’re trying to answer questions. But it’s damn clear you’d save yourself 99% of your effort by being forthcoming.

    ‘Why don’t you ask him?’

    Why would we ask him when you’re here? It makes more sense to ask you, and more sense to just answer.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  206. @Scoovy
    I never had any reason to believe that Ethel was fake, of course, I also never had a reason to pay attention.
    Some people seem to believe that I monitored her which is completely false. Noticing that AW followed her after Nikki had brought her up, and monitoring her are two very different things.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  207. That’s kind of the definition of evasive – avoiding natural questions that are very relevant

    Yeah, what Sarah said.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  208. If you think that Barbaro in a 2 day interview didnt ask me every question about AW that you have and then some… you’re just not very bright.

    Did Barbaro publish everything from the interview with you, or has a lot of stuff ended up on the ‘cutting room floor, so to speak?

    RB (382560)

  209. Like I’ve said, I’m interested in finding info on the Reids, not answering questions about AW.

    Comment by Gennettec — 6/26/2011 @ 4:09 pm

    That’s good to know, especially since you didn’t seem to be curious enough to ask questions of the person proportiong to be John Reid on this site.

    Seems that a person with such journalfu would have been able to come up with some questions that may have tripped him up. I mean, considering you were conversatin’ with his “daughter”, and that you knew from the very beginning that she was “fake”.

    Did you lose that sixth sense since then?

    Susie Q (653074)

  210. GennetteC – Will you state in public that you authorize him to release his notes and recordings of the 2 day conversation to me, so I can seek the answers to the questions posed of you? Because being the aspiring JournoLista you claim to be, you know damn good and well I could ask him all I want and never get an answer. kind of like with you. Just so you don’t FEEL evasive …

    JD (318f81)

  211. My apologies, Gennette. I stand corrected. Thank you, Simon Jester. BTW, it’s not unusual for a community college to not offer journalism courses.

    I see that WCC offers 4 journalism courses. WCC is of course a 2-yr community college. It offers an Associate Degree in Arts & Science, designed for students who wish to transfer to a 4-yr school. It does not offer “majors”.

    http://www.whatcom.ctc.edu/degrees-and-programs/associate-degrees/associate-degrees-transfer/

    http://www.whatcom.ctc.edu/student-services/academic-resources/educational-planning/degree-planning-sheets/

    Still, have you identified yourself as a student at Western Washington University in some interviews, but really you were a student at WCC? Or did the interviewers get that wrong?

    http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/06/weiner-in-hot-water.html

    Miranda (4104db)

  212. Gennette–When you keep referring to your 2 day interview with Barbaro do you mean conversations which led up to his June 9 article in the NYT? Or have you participated in a second interview session with him? The reason I ask is that there has been a lot of Weiner water under the bridge since June 9 that raises additional questions about the congressman’s activities–questions Barbaro may not have thought of to ask you about prior to publication of the June 9 article.

    elissa (c3a242)

  213. I’ve answered questions for Mike Barbaro @ NYT and Ive answered questions for Patterico. I’m perfectly okay with being evasive with the commenters on this blog. So people can keep saying it but I’m not going to address it anymore.
    Just a heads up:)

    Gennettec (255e41)

  214. So you authorized Barbaro to release the requested information? Yes, or no?

    JD (318f81)

  215. Gennette,

    You may have answered these questions before and, if so, I apologize for asking them again:

    1. How do we know you are the “real” Gennette?

    2. Why are you still answering questions if your involvement in Weiner’s Twitter life was so minimal?

    3. What information did you give the New York Times’ reporter(s) that they didn’t print? Put another way, what information do you think the public should be told, and what important points do you think we are missing?

    DRJ (fdd243)

  216. Boy, Gennette, for someone that really didn’t want to be smack dab in the middle of all this, you sure do have a way of keeping yourself front and center. Kind of like the attention, do you?

    Susie Q (653074)

  217. My journalism teacher told reporters that I would not be coming back to class because reporters were showing up there everyday… sitting outside of my classes.
    I would never call or consider myself “fragile”.

    They let reporters stand outside the classrooms/lecture halls?A free reign of the campus?
    No security? When it becomes a problem, they get rid of the press, not the student.

    goatsred (b20383)

  218. @JD
    I meant why don’t you ask him if he asked the questions you’re asking me. Why would anything ever be released to you? Who are you?

    Gennettec (255e41)

  219. “It strikes you as odd that I wouldn’t answer the questions of people commenting on a blog when I’ve done so for a NYT journalist? It strikes me as odd that that would strike anyone as odd.”

    Yes, it strikes us as odd. And here is why: You are here answering some selective questions but totally disdainful of having to answer other more related ones. Very odd.

    tier (4a939c)

  220. Gennette, have you seen either of Patterico’s first two quotes on top before? If so, wiil you put in context?

    jeff (707f3d)

  221. Sometimes I allow myself to get sucked into the nonsense and I forget why I came here.
    Any new info on the Reids?

    Gennettec (255e41)

  222. Gennette,

    I asked you for a week after this all started but I’ll ask again, as a courtesy. Why are you even here talking? Why have you been answering questions on blogs & twitter?

    Rocks (5241c6)

  223. Genette, how would we know if there’s any new info on the Reids, unless someone gently prodded us about a new thread?

    And a new thread would not necessarily have any information.

    Most of us have less information on the Reids than you do, come to think of it.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  224. @Jeff
    No, I don’t think so. Are they real?

    Gennettec (255e41)

  225. @Rocks
    I am following the Nikki story.

    Gennettec (255e41)

  226. Gennette,

    If you can’t see that there are good follow up questions to the piece Barbaro did, then you are the one that isn’t very bright. The fact that you, as a journalism major, cannot see that there seem to be gaps in your story to someone viewing on the outside, then you aren’t very bright.

    JD and others have asked brilliant questions that I would bet wasn’t asked by the NYT reporter. If I’m wrong, prove me wrong. In fact, if we’re all right wing crazies, wouldn’t you jump at the opportunity to relish in you being correct?

    Another commenter (I think it was May Bee, not sure) said this today (again, not sure which thread) and I’ll paraphrase: You’re on a blog with the owner being a lawyer, and a lot of people here having at the very least a strong logic background, so you should understand that when you make a statement that has even the faintest possibility of doubt, that people are going to jump on that. Rightfully so.

    If you don’t want to answer questions, why not just read the blog and avoid commenting?

    rogerthat (f5aad4)

  227. Any new info on the Reids?

    I don’t think so. I don’t think John Reid has made an appearance since yesterday. However, I think Lee Stranahan says he found the girl who originally set up Nikki’s starchild111 account. You probably already saw this but he talks about it here.

    DRJ (fdd243)

  228. Every time you act like this, you further deteriorate whatever minimal credibility, or shards thereof, you have remaining.

    Who are you? Why refer my little nobody self to the wonderful and valiant Barbaro since you know he will not release any info to little old lowly me? It was your suggestion that I get the answers from him, so you must know that was a quite mendoucheous suggestion.

    JD (318f81)

  229. The first quote is very reminiscent of his exchanges with the card dealer from Las Vegas, and also an exchange with “Ethel.”

    Those exact words do not seem to have been published before. Very similar ones have been shown to the public before.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  230. Gennette, I haven’t the foggiest if they’re real. I assume you’ve read about the two previous cape-and-tights tweets – this one seems to be a new variation. And the second sounds somewhat ‘journalistic’ – hence my question. Patterico evidently thought your absence from the Dean’s list was interesting, but I am not sure why. Do you have any idea?

    jeff (707f3d)

  231. Agh! I remain antecedently challenged! “His” refers to A. Weiner.

    My apologies. I knew what I meant, and forgot that not everyone is living in my head.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  232. Comment by Gennettec — 6/26/2011 @ 4:57 pm

    You were on blogs & twitter long before John Reid showed up. Want to try again?

    Rocks (5241c6)

  233. Translated GenetteC:

    I won’t answer your questions because someone else already asked those questions, and even though I can’t prove they were ever asked, I’m just not going to answer them again.

    Chuck Bartowski (e84e27)

  234. Rogerthat – thanks. She goes to great lengths to avoid such obvious questions. BUNNIES is her new choice of distraction.

    OJ shows up at a blog, starts asking questions about Kato Kaelin, and then gets all miffed that peole have questions for him.

    JD (318f81)

  235. My journalism teacher told reporters that I would not be coming back to class because reporters were showing up there everyday… sitting outside of my classes.

    This is the part I have real trouble with – Who told them what classes you were in? How did they know you were enrolled in those specific classes? Did they just say “Oh, she’s a Journalism student, so let’s look at the class schedule and see when the Journalism classes are offered, and we’ll find her…”?

    OK, that part I guess they can figure out. The next part is what concerns me – who verified to them, if anyone, that you were in fact enrolled in the class(es)? Telling anyone not associated with the college that you are, or are not, enrolled in a class – hell, even that you are even attending the college – without your consent is a HUGE FERPA violation that calls for hellacious fines.

    RB (382560)

  236. Chuck – not only will she not prove they were asked, she will certainly not prove they were answered, much less honestly.

    JD (318f81)

  237. Couldn’t a classmate have verified that? Doesn’t seem like it’s a huge program, it would probably be relatively easy to find some students from that program and contact them.

    Kristina (0ca6be)

    That’s an interesting point. What about a professor talking about a student’s political affiliations & calling them unstable? Is that kosher you think?

  242. That’s an interesting point. What about a professor talking about a student’s political affiliations & calling them unstable? Is that kosher you think?

    Actually, yes. That seems “ok”, actually, as far as the law is concerned – you are allowed to offer personal observations. FERPA does allow a lot of leeway on things unrelated to a actual student educational records.

    RB (382560)

  243. Sorry, bad grammar. “…on things unrelated to a student’s educational records”.

    RB (382560)

  244. @238
    Im pretty sure its been verified although I could be confused about what you’re talking about. Three of my classmates were quoted in articles talking about me, including my student editor who wrote an opinion piece about it in the WCC Horizon.

  245. John Reid is new, Nikki isn’t.

    Comment by GennetteC — 6/26/2011 @ 5:10 pm

    Yeah, there was nothing about Nikki till JR showed up. You were on blogs & twitter answering questions long before the NYT fake ID story. One more time?

    Rocks (5241c6)

  246. RB – in discussing this story, if you are going to include Gennette, capital J JournoListers, and ethics in the same sentence, it should be the punchline to a joke.

    JD (306f5d)

  247. I think the problem is that you’ve all been spoiled by your access to me and it’s given you a sense of entitlement.
    So, I think from now on if I have a comment about something written here I’ll email Patterico personally…
    Au revoir.

    GennetteC (e0d4f2)

  248. RB, the girls at my college go to great lengths to track down the QB. One girl told me that once people see he’s in the class (which they can tell from Blackboard), they alert their friends and word travels. Perhaps her classmates alerted journalists. Also, the QBs major is known so people are probably just going to the required classes to look for him. Gennette said she was in JOURN 120, which was her school newspaper. Maybe they googled her name, found out she was on the school newspaper and knew from their own experience that if you work for the school newspaper you can gain credit from taking the corresponding class, thus they show up to those meetings.

    JD, perhaps we should all wish her happy birthday…it worked before. I’m banking on her coming to her senses…in about 15 years after more life/work experience. Can you imagine the fun she’ll have when her future children or people she’s trying to interview act the way she’s acting now? Party time.

    rogerthat (f5aad4)

  249. Gennette, earlier, at the “John Reid Disappeared …” thread, I asked you this (comment #113):

    … here’s a straightforward question for you. Do you now know who the “real” person is behind “John Reid”?

    And you answered (#124):

    @Miranda
    I do not know and I never knew before. Initially I felt like I had an idea who was behind Nikki. Now I’m more confused with this whole JG thing that Lee has presented.
    So, no, I don’t know. I’d like very much to find out.

    Who did you think might be behind the “Nikki” persona, and why?

    After all, it’s just speculation. And now you no longer think that’s the case. So no harm done if you tell us who you think it was.

    Miranda (4104db)

    No argument there.

    RB (382560)

  254. You know what else would make this story almost as frustrating? That would be if Google or comcast were somehow involved in Weinergate and everybody trying to get information got lost in the bowels of the touch-tone choice ladders within the labyrinth of their “customer service” departments. And when you did finally get connected to a human they were somewhere off shore and the barely English speaking person was reading and responding from scripts that had nothing to do with the question you asked.

    Yes. That would be almost as frustrating.

  269. Comment by Kaisersoze — 6/26/2011

    I’m not even sure the Gennette here is the same Gennette of the dicpics. A so-called jounalism student that wants to do political journalism, but is content to sit back and find out the answers through other people. Well, check that. I guess she’ll fit in perfectly with the likes of the NYT, and those geniuses of Journolist.

    Susie Q (653074)

  270. Stay relevant Gennette.

    Tutu (54ce64)

  271. I guess she’ll fit in perfectly with the likes of the NYT,

    In more ways than one!

    Beyond the fact she is apparently the only person alive that thinks getting a picture of a Congressional Staff out of the blue is a non event, I think its also hugely telling that she will give a sanitized interview that helps clear Weiner but won’t take a six figure check from someone like TMZ or People magazine to do a puff piece interview when she is allegedly unable to pay her way through college.

    Kaisersoze (c86eb0)

  272. Considering Gennette said that she would have flunked out of college by now if it wasn’t for her awesome test taking fu, I’m thinking she should be looking for a job at Think Progress.

    Susie Q (653074)

  273. Actually, I thought Gennette showed much more patience and grace than I ever could have managed at that age.

    But that’s just me.

    By the way, if you’re still your there Gennette, Lee Stranahan is claiming on twitter
    that he’s “now officially at 100%” (certainty, I think). So maybe he really has found the Real Puppeteer.

    Jennifer Preston seems still unconvinced though (and I tend to agree with her – even though she does remind me of Rita Skeeter).

    Dumbledore (29770b)

  274. It’s interesting. She gave out some information this afternoon that tells us far more about her, and her worldview, than I think she was wise to extend.

    She’s a poor student who does well on tests (why, hello, Mensa!); she operates within a very limited comfort zone; she’s sloppy and lazy within that comfort zone.

    She thinks herself superior, sneers at people for not being important, and completely misunderstands her situation – she is no longer someone anyone thinks of as a victim or even a semi-innocent bystander. Or even a student of net behavior.

    Does anyone disagree with this assessment?

    Ha! About the same as me, I suspect – nothing at all from the infinite superiority of 22!

  280. Like SusieQ I tend to suspect we have not been communicating (and I use that term loosely) with the original Gennette. I think maybe someone else (with her knowledge) has taken over managing her internet presence and her public identity on blogs and twitter. They have to retreat periodically to do research and strategize.

    But please don’t ask me for what purpose Gennette is being kept out front and center, bcause I have no idea.

  281. RB, I would agree with you, but what I am observing in this particular young woman is an unusual desire for control, at several junctures in this continuing story. And, while I don’t want to over reach, I have seen those flags on several
    occasions.

  282. elissa,

    Last night – somewhere in one of the many threads – somebody mentioned that her signature was diffrent. Has that been followed up upon?

  284. Stranahan just tweeted that “Jenny George” filed a police report claiming he had made death threats against her. (Laughable, but the cat..? Maybe)

    Is Jenny George the troubled UCLA screenwriter?

  285. Stranahan’s post for the non-twitter-ers:

    Jenny George Files Police Report Accusing Me Of Making Threats Against Her; A Charge I Deny

    June 26, 2011 · 0 comments

    I received a phone call at about today from a police detective. He told me that a woman named Jennifer George had come into the station in the past few days and filed a police report claiming that she had received death threats, telling her that she’d be dead before sundown and that she should watch out for her family. (Recently threats were made against bloggers Patterico and Ace from Ace of Spades HQ that used similar language. )

    The detective told me that there’s a written report based on what Ms. George said that those threats were made by a specific person who she named — Lee Stranahan.

    I categorically and completely deny that any threats were made by me. I believe that Ms. George’s police report is provably false.

    More details on this soon.

  286. #283 – Unless you have extra information, it’s too early to say.

    But how is Stranahan supposed to have made death threats against some random person?

    Dianna (f12db5)

  287. cap’n–

    I don’t know. Excellent question, but I’m not a good one to ask. Have been out doing stuff and only checked in briefly a coupla times today. Once early morning and then mid afternoon. Sorry.

    Hopefully someone following the threads more closely will know.

    elissa (c3a242)

  288. Just wondering if that name rings a bell, I have to admit I’ve lost track of some of the Starchild to Nikki to whoever names/usernames. If the UCLA girl is a nutjob, this would line up with that side of this story.

    Kaisersoze (c86eb0)

  289. ==Pat confirmed a GC posting IP as Bellingham, WA==

    KOAM, I know. That would tend to rule out someone stealing her identity– but if someone was using her accounts with her concurrence, maybe the IP would look the same it’s always been. No big deal. I know nothing. I just have a gut feeling something’s hinky there with her and at each of her appearances at Patterico it feels hinkier.

    elissa (c3a242)

  290. Doesn’t make sense for criminal to go to cops.

    koam (7c1f46)

  291. Dianna, it’s clear she thinks she’s better than others, or perhaps maybe she feels that way about the commenters on this blog since most of us have differing political views from her own. But, do you think maybe her views of superiority caused her to exaggerate her side in all of this? It seems like she’s either overselling her role or underselling it, but I doubt her in between answer of “I’m only here to find out who John Reid is.”

    rogerthat (f5aad4)

  292. The idea Lee would threaten someone is ridiculous. He’s thinking about this story from the big picture. He wants to promote his other ventures and take advantage of this interesting story. The idea he would do something like that is absurd.

    And frankly, I think this is the clearest indication I’ve ever seen that he’s 100% right about this lady being the crazy person behind everything.

    Think about it. How would she act if someone was on to her, assuming this manipulator is behind the Alicia Pain threats? They would project their worst sin, having recently seen just how people react to that.

  293. And frankly, I think this is the clearest indication I’ve ever seen that he’s 100% right about this lady being the crazy person behind everything.

    That makes a lot of sense, especially given the death threats to Ace and Patrick. It would also line up with the “whack job that adored Weiner and now hates Gennette for some unknown reason” angle.

    Kaisersoze (c86eb0)

  294. She is, what the police call, a 96.

  295. @SarahW
    You can’t look at a fb page unless you “like” it. I was checking up on the school that Nikki said she attended to see if they mentioned anything about prom.

    Did this really get typed out here by our social media and young lifestyle guru?

    Oh, HA!

  296. Rogerthat @ 290 – you wrote:

    She clearly feels a need to be in the center of this story. My suspicion is that she feels that Weiner blew her off, teased her, treated her with a pat on the head, “cute kid” attitude. So now, she wants to prove the “Reids” (whoever they turn out to be) were the honey-trap she tried to tell Weiner they were.

    She’s over-selling her role, because, in her own head, she’s the Wise Counselor, who is not a conventional person, but arrives at insights idiosyncratically. (Remember her ‘test-taking ability’?). Weiner should have listened, and she’s going to prove it.

    Now, remember that I am a novel-reading and writing person, so I may very well be doing character projection, not properly assessing Genette.

    I found that infinitely amusing. A Facebook aficionado that doesn’t know you can peruse a Facebook page without liking it? Add to that the contention that she wanted info on the high school for Nikki’s prom, and she goes first to Facebook?

    Hinky, I tells ya. Hinky.

    Susie Q (653074)

  298. Some people seem to believe that I monitored her which is completely false. Noticing that AW followed her after Nikki had brought her up, and monitoring her are two very different things.

    The DMs:
    Lol! That’s funny. Hey did you say one of your friends was [Ethel]?
    Direct message sent by GNC (@GennetteNicole) to you (@starchild111) on May 16, 1:18 AM.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Sorry. That was totally random but I just saw that this politician just started following her today and he follows me. Small world.
    Direct message sent by GNC (@GennetteNicole) to you (@starchild111) on May 16, 1:19 AM.
    ——

    Yeah, that is way different from “monitoring” Ethel.
    You knew what starchild had said to her before, asking her about a DM w/Weiner.
    And you checked to see when Weiner was following her.

    And this is completely different than what starchild was doing to make you so sure she wasn’t real that you led a Congressman to start DMing her about a “f*cking crush”.

    MayBee (081489)

  299. My suspicion remains that Gennette just really, really wanted to know what kinds of things Rep Weiner was saying to Ginger Lee, Ethel, and other high school girls.

    So she sent Starchild in to find out.

  300. Dianna– Would it still be considered a roman a clef if you wrote a fictionalized version of a true story even if you did not know who the actual characters were that you were fictionalizing?

    Whatever. You write it–I’ll buy it!

    elissa (c3a242)

  301. Did we get clarification on which Jenny it is?

    Massachusetts Liberal or Cute Kitty Video Blogger?

    koam (7c1f46)

  302. Gennette,

    if you’re still reading, do you remember the date RepWeiner started following you? I haven’t seen that publicized anywhere.

    Greg (bc8186)

  303. I just got an email laughing at me for taking up for Lee. I wasn’t aware of what he’s been saying about me on his ‘radio’ program. Anyway, I still realize the charges are lubricious, but Lee’s got me email. I guess he’s got something a hell of a lot more interesting to talk about on his radio program than some commenter on a blog being a “punk”.

    Anyway, hang in there Lee. Sincerely. Even if you’re not nice to me, you don’t even slightly deserve a crime like false reports to be committed against you.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  304. Dustin– you are doing the right thing tonight, and I am glad to see it. It shows what you are made of. Character matters.

    elissa (c3a242)

  305. I really appreciate that, Elissa.

    I hope to God whoever is behind all this crap is righteously brought before the public for all the chaos they have wrought on people who are just trying to follow a story. Lee, Patrick, Ace… they have families who don’t deserve to have to worry about the actions of this creep.

    And I think this false report is actually worse than even the Alicia Pain threats. It’s real action taken to harm someone. The only mitigating point is that the person behind all this may be mentally ill, but they appear to know what they are doing is wrong, so screw them.

    Dustin (c16eca)

  306. Dianna– Would it still be considered a roman a clef if you wrote a fictionalized version of a true story even if you did not know who the actual characters were that you were fictionalizing?

    Whatever. You write it–I’ll buy it!

    Comment by elissa

    I’d have to be careful, but no one ever got in trouble by looking at a situation, creating their own characters, and telling the story as the author saw it. Which, by the time it was done, would bear very little resemblance to the actual situation.

    Sure, I’ll play. No idea where I’ll end up, though.

    Dianna (f12db5)

  307. It’s sad to see how some people have treated Gennette. Disappointing.
