    Or ALL men like to show off attractive women to their peers?

    In Salkin's defense, the article did contain the nugget that Bernie liked to show off attractive women to his peers. Now, if someone can divine from Blago's hair that he has a clinical psychological personality disorder then it's certainly within the realm of reason to find a similar explanation with respect to Madoff based on this article. Maybe Allen Salkin is on to something?

    I think Salkin gets assignments like this because he must be so goddamn persistent and annoying.

    Leonard E. Indianer, retired optometrist and author of "A Bridge to Elne: Novel of a French Family's Struggle Against the Nazi Occupation," Ormond Beach, Fla: I don't recall him at all.


    Since when does the NYT have a cavernous news hole that must be filled with silliness like this?

    Well, here I go again abusing the "post a video" function, but I just can't help it. Dance away, friends.

    This is only slightly better than the Weekend at Bernie's defense in which Madoff will pretend to be dead and will be dragged into court with his arms draped over a couple of 80s C-listers.

    Wouldn't it be great if we passed a law mandating a mandatory life sentence to all white collar crimes that cost individuals or companies more than $500 million? Most of these old white fuckers that do shit like this would be dead by the time they get their first parole hearing, 25 years after their sentence. Added bonus: these crooks must serve time in the same state penitentiary that the rest of us go to for selling crack or robbing a 7-11.

    Hopefully, like George Bluth, Madoff has a pot-smoking twin brother on his way out of the woodwork to really liven things up.
