    By "we reported" you should probably be clear that "The New York Post" reported. Come on now. #jholow

    Shudder....
    What I am still confused about is why the murky and nefarious puppet masters want to be connected with all this flash big spending and high rolling... I mean, if you want things to be on the DL why have a guy reflecting light into the shadows?

    If I am reading about this here and now... these guys are either really bad at what they do, or Gawker is tacitly helping a terrifying PR venture. #jholow

    @BeeGee: Exactly. If they wanted to blend in and avoid suspicion due to shady dealings, their "front man" would be a plausible "playboy" type, a guy who looked the part, not some dude who people see throwing around money and think "Man, that guy has to be a front for an arms dealer or some shit." #jholow

    Maybe it's just me, but when the original Post article said that Low isn't spending his own money and his friend from Kuwait took the credit, I assumed the mystery was over. Especially, if you consider that rich Middle Eastern businessmen have been flying starlets around and renting time with beautiful women for at least, three or four decades. All in all, the whole thing sounded like a bad cliche.

    @Claire Buoyant: I think they are all chubby, but here is where I read about Jong-un a while back.

    "The chef worked in Kim Jong Il’s kitchens for 20 years and in his memoirs describes Kim Jong Un as pleasant, overweight, capable of holding his drink and a fan of the US basketball player Michael Jordan."

    @skt.smth: The idea is that Jho Low parties with an entourage; one of the entourage is actually the moneybags who chooses which starlet he wants to meet today, and they just put out that Jho Low is the big shot of the group.

    @BaldwinPeriphetes: I'm still not buying it. How does Jho Low know this (or these) "hard" guy/s in the first place? It seems to me that, if the dude were Russian, we'd just assume he was heir to an oil fortune or something and move on. Why does Jho Low have to be involved in gun-running (or be the front for a guy who is)? Because he's Malaysian, and a Malaysian can't possibly have enough money to club like that? #jholow

    Let's face it, HuffPo is sensationalist journalism with a leftward slant, versus Drudge being sensationalist with a rightward wingnut slant.

    HuffPo will never work until it stops censoring comments so much; the sameness makes it as boring as the comments on, oh, CuteOverload, for example. It's become more about boobs and provocative titles and giving hacks of every kind a chance to "post" their inane comments or flog their latest book/product/agenda. #huffingtonpost

But it's a cult, wherein you are only allowed to say "OMG!" and "Oh, my head will asplode from teh qute!" and they exchange sunshine tofu recipes and give each other imaginary cookies-- and if you say anything that strikes anyone negatively you are a terrible, terrible person. It's notorious for requiring that the rear end be kissed of the Megan and her henchman, Theo. I know this because of painful experience with a cousin. They also had a huge argument over whether people's faces should ever be included. #huffingtonpost
