    Daphne Merkin should be spanked for her bad behavior. But, ahhh hold it, isn't that was she wrote her famous essay about?


    Well, then she should just be ignored. And, I can assure you, that would be vastly more painful.

    @smithhimself: An ebony Mason-Pearson brush should be wielded at her desperately awaiting tush, but stopped dead in its tracks before delicious impact? Followed by,"Liar, liar, pants SO NOT on fire"?


    I like the way you think, smithhim.

    The conpeople use the larceny in our hearts against us.

    Also, this Mishpocheh business is familiar -- when Mozillo asked why he needed his half billion, his response was that he had a "big family." And guess what? His sister wrote a really sweet editorial saying what a great guy he was and that we should stop picking on him.

    "Greater disclosure" my ass, it should have been spiked.
    No wonder people don't give a shit about the MSM anymore.


    Andrew Rosenthal should resign for not recognizing the significance of this fuck up.
