Earlier this afternoon we took a moment to share with you a very special pitch from a very special publicist. According to the flack, Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford Jr., who is black, was seen kissing a white woman at "hot" Meatpacking District restaurant Sascha the other night. This "jungle fever," which "upset" some people, then continued later on the terrace of the Gansevoort, as Ford and his date were joined by another interracial couple. Oh horror of horrors.
So what in God's name was this publicist trying to promote, other than racism? One Gawker commenter guessed correctly: this awful gibberish was actually a pitch for Sascha, disguised as some sort of horrid gossip item. And Sascha is represented by — wait for it — Rubenstein PR. Good thing they're so renowned for their crisis management skills.
We still don't know the actual author of the pitch; if you know which individual was handling Sascha, drop us an email at tips@gawker.com.
