Politics Greedy Bastard Gets Caught
posted by on March 14 at 11:02 AM
The Washington Post and others report that the former treasurer for the National Republican Congressional Committee stole up to a million dollars of the NRC’s funds, siphoning it into his personal accounts. It’s said to be one of the largest political frauds in U.S. history.
I mean, if you don’t count the current unpleasantness in Iraq.
I have been unable to find any salacious details associated with this case SO FAR. It’s hoped by some (me) that a story of paid companions, piggish drug use, and perhaps a fetish or two might be uncovered. Other than that, it’s just a tale of some asshole stealing a million bucks.
Yawn.
Let’s look instead at an example of epic, bravura dressmaking, courtesy of John Galliano of Christian Dior, Spring Haute Couture 2008:
Only the Couture matters. Everything else is just clothing.

Right up there with the Social Security Trust Fund.
She looks like anime. Gorgeous.
Mark Mitchell FTW!
I love it when women dress like presents.
Wow, I am so conflicted. On the one hand, he's obviously a crook and a bad guy and should be punished. On the other, he kept a million dollars out of the NRCC that would have otherwise gone to whatever nefarious purposes it goes to (electing Rs to congress, I'm assuming).
ouch.
I hope that the NRCC will spend lots of GOP money investigating his past, getting him tried and jailed, and then lose the case on appeal and have to pay him even more.
Why?
Because they're Republicans.
Do you need a better reason?
I saw that photo, gasped, and clutched my pearls. Lovely. Simply lovely.
Ha! I do love a good Republican scandal in the morning. I'd probably love them even more if they were fuschia and poofy.
@4: Hell, any more I'm just pleased as punch when women dress like women.
She looks like a satin brioche! And what is going on with that hemline?
I have no problem with someone stealing from the Republicans, but if someone does it and has to get caught, I'm glad it's a Republican.
And only just yesterday I read that Bush was quoted saying that 2008 is looking to be a fantastic year for Republicans. FANTASTIC indeed!

Anna: is Montana your real last name? Cause if it is, that would be the worst luck in the world.
Spring 2008 wasn't even Galliano's best couture collection. It was a little too much like Fall 2007 for me.
And yet it was still better than everyone else. JPG's was beyond horrible.
Mike in MO - No it's not my real last name. That would be funny though. It's one of the many nicknames given to me by friends, because I'm from Montana. I think it's better than some of the other nicknames, such as "Red Scallion" or "Scal" for short, "Towering Inferno" or "Anna Banana" - so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Here's hoping dude blew that RNCC million on the usual Republican must haves: Rope, lube, wet suits, diapers and a fire hydrant-sized dildo that's *still* too small for him.
She looks like she survived a concentration camp stay; such skinny arms. And that stange gunny sack she's wearing WTF?
She looks like a corpse.
@ 15: Being from Montana is almost as good as Montana being your real surname.
It could be worse. Your name could be Kylie Cyrus.
Mike in MO - Yeah, like I had any control over where I was born. If it makes you feel "MO betta" to rip on a girl to feel MO like a man - have at it.
It looks like she's had an unfortunate confetti enema. And it wasn't any better the first time someone slogged it today. Really, what's the point? That somepne can look like a plum with rainbow diarrhea?
I would only wear that dress if I were going to Halloween party and needed a sight-impaired drag queen costume.
