Gawker: ominous foreshadowing

Spitzer Squeezed Colbert In Just Before Career-Ending Whore Vacation

As Stephen Colbert revealed last night, Eliot Spitzer made his second appearance on The Colbert Report on February 12. Which would be the same day he called the Emperors' Club VIP to set up his date with "Kristen", and "just hours" before he traveled to Washington DC to testify before Congress and fuck the hooker who ended his career. He spoke with Colbert about Barack Obama's "trouble picking up working-class women" and his status as a superdelegate for Hillary. ("We have capes, we have leotards, we have special outfits that we wear.") The clip of the interview ("I love my job!") is after the jump. Someone should compare it to his post-whoring CNBC appearance and see if he looks more relaxed.

Souvenir Stalls Did 9/11

Contra Condi, it turns out anybody could have predicted that people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center. First it was advertisers, now writer Susie Felber shares her 9/11-predicting mug collection, purchased in "downtown Manhattan the week after 9.11.2001." It's almost too sick to imagine, but has anyone measured sales of WTC snow globes since 2001? We heard all the beanie babies in tower 7 were evacuated on 9/10. [Felber's Frolics, Previously]

Advertisers Did 9/11

Here's a "1979 ad for Pakistani Airlines promoting its flights to New York City." Can't you just picture a young, fresh-faced Khalid Sheikh Mohammed stumbling across this in a Baluchistan newspaper, some dim flicker of a terrible plan taking hold, just before he books his own flight to the US for his formative education? Yes, it really would explain a lot—if it weren't for the fact that we all know CHENEY DID 9/11. Still: eerie. [AdRants]
