A Conversation with Gary Condit
Daily Probe: Good afternoon, Mr. Condit. Thanks for taking the time
to speak to us.
Gary Condit: Yes, good afternoon, yes.
DP: So, how are you feeling after your defeat last evening?
GC: I'm not going to respond to that question.
DP: Uh, you don't want to comment on how you're doing?
GC: I just don't see how the question has any relevance.
DP: Really? I mean, you did serve seven terms in the House. It must
be a significant thing to know you won't be returning.
GC: Look, I've said I've felt fine on several previous occasions.
Also, how I feel is a family matter and I think my privacy should be
respected. Let's just move on. Is it warm in here?
DP: Were you serious when you implied several times in the national
media that if you were re-elected, it would benefit the ongoing
Chandra Levy investigation by keeping it in the spotlight?
GC: Again, I just don't see the relevance of a question like that.
DP: But you said that, didn't you?
GC: I've said all kinds of things. Ok, fine, we'll play it your way
-- I feel great. Are you happy now? Are you? I busted my ass for 30
years in public service and just because I screw a few interns, I
mean, uh, one intern, I'm supposed to fucking go out like this? You
can take your goddamn House seat and shove it up your goddamn ass!
I'm Gary Condit! I've gotten more goddamn tail than
Sinatra -- is that a fucking crime?
DP: Well, we don't know if it's a crime -- the case is still open.
GC: Look, you just keep that up. You just keep that up. I'll get
the last laugh. I'm Gary fucking Condit and I'll get the last
fucking laugh. You think I'm finished? Do you? Well let me tell
you something -- you don't want to get on my bad side. Trust me,
when I'm pissed off? I'm Gary Condit! I'm Gary Condit!
DP: Thanks very much, Mr. Condit. I know you have an appointment at
Apartment Search to get to.
GC: Fuck off.
