I’m guessing it’s a resume booster. She’s a Democrat.

But yes it is vomit inducing as he’s such a weasle plus we know way too much about his proclivities because of the hooker business.

That maybe, but every time she opens her mouth, I like her more,

She alludes, constantly to being more than a little on the wild side......

Neo is taking about Lis Smith, and you are talking about Tantaros.

You know, i could understand Jill St.John and Kissinger.,,

I could understand Monica and Bill

But Spitzer? That guy is so gross he wouldn’t get f@@@ed in prison...

Plus how dumb does she have to be to not realize the press is on him like white on rice...

I was watching the Five one day last month and Tantaros said “subsequently” like “sub-SEE-quent-ly.”

I was embarrassed for her.

He's a billionare. Lis probably banged Corzine too. Same reason.

I just caught that after I read the entire statement...lol

I responded to his first sentence, then when I went back, I realized he was talking about Dick Morris’ dream date.

Yesterday’s high was 50 (very early in the morning).

Then that makes her dumber than the average hooker.

She lost a career, they got paid.

She had 4 years, at least...locked in with Red Bill.

I think there is a certain amount of lollygagging going on that they are trying to get a hold on. But this is heavy handed.
