You might not know this, but most major newspapers have headline writers; it’s rare that the writer of a piece gets to title it and write the headline too. And then there are the tweets, written by the social media intern who works 18 hours a day and doesn’t get paid.
So it’s not surprising that someone at the New York Times tried to be clever with this tweet about Paul Manafort:

Both named Kenny; both sing; both have beards … what’s the difference?
It was Kenny G in "Footloose" and he was out of Sunday shoes. My god. https://t.co/XOIg6PbduF

I love that the actual op-ed, while making the gambler parallels, does not invoke the song “The Gambler,” making this tweet that confuses Kenny Loggins with Kenny Rogers a completely unforced error pic.twitter.com/vCa66KRjZQ

Kenny ROGERS, blasphemer.

FFS. They’re blaspheming Kenny Rodgers.

I'll never forget the first time I ate at Kenny Loggins Roasters.

I'll never forget the time Kenny Loggins was on Hee Haw singing Islands in the Stream with Patsy Cline

I say we shut down all Kennys until we figure out what the hell is going on.
