Mr Bryan, a former adviser to Bill Clinton who helped raise funds for Mr Obama's re-election campaign, has owed the money to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) since 2006, according to court filings obtained by The Daily Telegraph from Texas.

Mr Bryan, who has been in a relationship with Ms Wintour since 1999, was also pursued for outstanding Texas property taxes, and has had energy companies he owns in the state chided by local authorities for falling behind on their financial filings

Shocking isn't it? Wintour is one of Obama's pets. Her boyfriend owes Texas money. Obama hates Texas...perfect combination. The U.S. media will NOT touch this.

It’s okay - he’s a rich liberal.

Nothing will be done.

Laws only apply to little people.

We, I mean, he’s an intimate of Anna Wintour, a friend of Obama’s, and this is Texas. So what’s the problem?

This guy's definitely traveling to Switzerland every six months for the goat treatments.

That accounts for the flushed leathery skin. And Anna, well. I think it's already been pretty well established what the long exposure to the low oxygen environment of certain salons in NYC does to the weak minded.

That would explain the blank I drew, though the post was written like it was someone of note.

Ol' horseface Parker, though, feed the nag an apple.........I will never understand why somebody thought she was good looking. I can only imagine the nicotine breath as well........

Bryan and his first wife, Lucia, have two daughters, Ashley and Alexis. After divorcing Lucia, Bryan married his second wife Katherine, and had two sons, Austin and Jack. Bryan made waves in 1999 when he left his second wife for fashion editor Anna Wintour. Since those heady days, the frenzy around the couple, who reside in Anna’s Greenwich Village manse, has ebbed. Though he squires her to fashion events and U.S. Open matches, Shelby, says an insider, flies “under the radar.”

Shelby is dating Vogue Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour, and is an avid golfer, and traveler.

Bryan Hits the Wall: Handsome Investor’s $60 Million Goes Poof! as He Takes Down Malone With Him

By Landon Thomas Jr. 10/02/00

J. Shelby Bryan is tall, smooth and charming–seductive, even. He is an incomparable salesman. A blend of old Texas money and East Coast establishment gloss, the 54-year-old Mr. Bryan offers something for everyone: a few years working for Ralph Nader in the early, a stint as a Morgan Stanley mergers and acquisitions banker later that decade, and, when such a move was still considered daring, a run as a telecommunications entrepreneur.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour left her husband for him. President Clinton shmoozed Manhattan Democrats in his Upper East Side salon. And on Feb. 29, cable titan and notoriously discerning communications investor John Malone took a $500 million stake in his high-flying Colorado-based telecommunications company, ICG Communications Inc.

Finally, though, Mr. Bryan had offered more than he could deliver.

A lot of people around Anna, and this is true at every fashion magazine, are gay men, and they’re the only ones at Vogue who are not terrorized by her. The thing is, she doesn’t really like women, which is certainly curious for the editor of the world’s most influential fashion magazine for women.”

Ms. Wintour never graduated from high school, nor did she pursue any higher education - an intriguing fact about a woman whose parents met while both were studying at Cambridge University

In fact, Wintour, now 55, was so focused on style she never finished high school - and by several accounts, still can’t write.

But that didn’t stop Wintour - seemingly nothing could - as she steamrolled her way to style supremacy, leaving bruised egos, trampled rivals, embittered assistants and broken friendships by her stilettoed feet.

Wintour, the daughter of a powerful newspaper editor and a social worker mom, began belittling other females from an early age, according to Oppenheimer’s account.

Her former best friend Vivienne Lasky recalled how a young Anna would buy her stylish outfits as gifts - but the items were always a size too small. On other occasions, the rail-thin young fashionista would cook all of her pal’s favorite meals.

Then, instead of dining with Vivienne, Anna - who would eat a single Granny Smith apple for lunch each day - would watch her chubbier friend eat while deriding her for her weight.

Their friendship lasted into adulthood, but began coming apart on one of many social occasions when Wintour shocked others with her bad behavior.

Rudeness was one of Wintour’s most striking traits - whether it was cutting remarks directed at other women, not speaking to fellow guests at a party, not thanking hostesses or merely stiting in a chair sulking.
