On the topic of Client 9, from the U.S. Attorney’s press release (.pdf):
According to the Website, the Emperors Club charged $1,000 per hour for a three-diamond prostitute, and $3,100 per hour for a seven-diamond prostitute. The Website also offered the Emperors Club’s most valued clients “membership” in the “Icon Club,” a status which allowed the [...]

Spitzer Schadenfreude


Posted by Matski on March 10th, 2008

Well, much as I hate to revel in another’s misfortune [really, 'tis true], I feel it’s important to point out the hypocritical douchbaggery of Left as well as Right. So in the spirit of reveling in the downfall of Ted Haggard, let’s pause ten seconds to contemplate Eliot “I’m Rich but I Hate Myself [...]

Sinbad!


Posted by Contrarian on March 10th, 2008

Clinton brings a wealth of foreign policy experience to the table:
Susan Rice, a foreign policy adviser to Obama, mocked Clinton for her claim of having made a corkscrew landing into Bosnia under the threat of sniper fire, when, as Rice pointed out, she made the trip with Chelsea, Sheryl Crow and Sinbad.
“In fact, it was [...]

Bush The Survey Slayer


Posted by Contrarian on February 29th, 2008

You mean this is the worst you can come up with? There must be some sort of Bush-opinion-columnator that automatically generates this stuff:
The Bush administration has tried repeatedly to kill or shortchange government surveys. Motivated in part by pound foolishness, but also by a disdain for information that might upset partisan or ideological agendas, the [...]

Time Can Bring You Down

Further proof that Eric Clapton definitely has blood on his hands:
Rock icon Eric Clapton has been invited to play a concert in the North Korean capital Pyongyang, an official at the country’s UK embassy has confirmed.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Mister Elephant?


Posted by Apocalypse Tom on February 10th, 2008

Is the fix in up here in wussy progressive Washington? Various sources are reporting that the Washington GOP watched Huckabee lead in the caucus by a point or two for most of the day yesterday. McCain seemed to take the lead by a point with around 75% of precincts reporting. When the count reached 87.2% [...]

Just Walk Away


Posted by Bruno on January 29th, 2008

Here’s a good sign the housing market isn’t coming back anytime soon.
The real irony here is that the banks shot themselves in the foot with this one. If they hadn’t pushed through the Bankruptcy Bill in 2005 — which made it harder to delcare bankruptcy and walk away from credit cards — [...]

Dumb and Dumber


Posted by Matski on January 18th, 2008

At this point, nearly 7 full years into the Bush regime, there’s hardly a malediction I can hurl in Monkey Boy’s direction that hasn’t been spoken before.  And yet somehow I’m still amazed at the idiocy of both Bush and the toadies with which he’s managed to surround himself.

Mitt Romney - Shameful


Posted by Matski on January 14th, 2008

I made up my mind a long time ago that I didn’t like Mitt Romney. Still, you’d think the founder of Bain Capital would be above economic populism:
