Even Donkeys Get the Blues

So the new season of HBO’s craptastic posse-fest “Entourage” started on Sunday (Don’t say anything…I tivoed it), reinvigorating the news media’s seasonal love affair with the curiosity of fame by association, aka the Posse/Pussy Proximity Parallel. Aside from the usual flood of publicity reacharounds administered by EW, Us Weekly, E! and the rest of the usual suspects, the Boston Herald published in its Sunday edition the heretofore unheard (by me at least) story of one Donnie Carroll aka “Donkey” aka “Murder One”, the former Mark Wahlberg hanger-on from Dorchester who served as the inspiration for the hornball gofer Turtle.

I won’t delve too far into the story. I’ll leave that in the capable hands of the Herald Hacks that wrote this one up.

Needless to say, if I wanted to see this many sour grapes, I’d pour vinegar in my eyes.

Enjoy.
