I can't help myself...we NEED a good (blast from the past) laugh now and then. [1]

Did this photo get your attention? Well it’s a legit headline (sold on the streets of NYC) and a true ‘blast from the past’. It’s also a GREAT laugh for me considering I do not like everyone involved in this mess (I’m probably not alone...). I think we could use a laugh right now.
A little backstory...In 2019 the (UK) Guardian published a story involving divorce, extramartial relations, blackmail, Trump (naturally), the Saudis (?) and those paragons of corporate and political misbehavior: Jeff Bezos and National Enquirer (former?) owner David Pecker. Long story short: Bezos has affair with TV star (2 divorces follow), Pecker publishes story (based on alleged wiretaps from the Saudis) about said affair, NY Post (that exemplar of yellow journalism) publishes the above...hijinx ensue.
Now it must be said that, as a former NYC area denizen, I do NOT like the Post very much (see Central Park 5 Exonerated 5 among other examples) but from time to time I have to give their front page writers their propers. This was a CLASSIC that I keep on my desktop for a laugh from time to time. I hope you agree.
However...this may put me in the doghouse with the powers that be for a while...just make sure I get fed and watered on schedule. Arf, arf.
