The Washington Post
We begin our journey into the truly jaded at The Washington Post, right here at 1301 K St NW. The Post has reported on so many scandals over the years...how do you pick just one? Well, we did, and we think it's a good one. Hopefully you'll agree. In the fall of 1989, A D.C.-based Republican lobbyist named Craig J. Spence was found dead from an overdose in a Boston Ritz-Carlton hotel room, in what the police said was most likely suicide. Two weeks earlier, he had hired a production company to record a seven-minute final message to his friends. One of the copies of the video he arranged to be mailed here to the Washington Post. The scandal that plagued Spence and most likely led to his suicide was in his own words, insignificant compared to other things he'd done. Uh...you're kidding? Because these accusations seem horrific enough. In a nutshell, Spence had allegedly brought underage boys and girls from foster homes into the White House for late-night tours and a prostitution ring. Later it was revealed that the underage sex scandal involved kidnapping, mind control, satanic rituals and sexual abuse. Wowsers. When asked who had given him access to the White House, Spence hinted that the tours were arranged by top level people, including a member of the Secret Service he had bribed with a Rolex, and Donald Gregg – the national security adviser to the Vice President (who at that time was George H. W. Bush). Donald Gregg denied any involvement. Hungry for more? Feel free to drop by our next stop for a bite at 14K Restaurant inside the Hamilton Hotel. They have pretty good happy hour deals from 4:00 – 7:00 weekday evenings. So when you are ready, just head west from the Washington Post building. Our next location is at the end of this block on your right.
