"Well, the world needs ditch-diggers, too!"

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have been pushed out of the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club — where top members were enraged their recent federal guilty pleas turned the establishment into a “place of refuge and comfort for known felons.”
The couple quit the club this month, TMZ reported, weeks after pleading guilty to bribing their daughters’ ways into the University of Southern California as part of a national college admissions scandal involving dozens of rich parents.
Their stepping down came amid a battle among members about how to handle the high-profile pair.
While the club’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to suspend the Loughlin-Giannullis, some members were incensed they weren’t kicked out indefinitely.
At least one prominent member, former Board President Michael Gallager, said he was resigning over the decision in a fiery letter, TMZ reported.
“BACC is a Club of gentlemen and gentlewomen. Gentlemen are not felons, and felons in turn are not gentlemen. You cannot be a member in good standing and guilty of a felony at the same time, it is a non sequitur,” Gallagher wrote.
He went on: “The board action, taken on behalf of the Club’s membership, now establishes our Club as a place of refuge and comfort for known felons . . . This matter is already well known in the golfing world, domestically and internationally, and our Club has become a laughingstock.”

[The thing is, USC isn’t that hard to get in to.]
Of course, this will trigger the usual jokes. I understand selling your soul to the devil to get into Harvard. But USC?
University of Spoiled Children
The “Club” is probably full of felons, they just have not been caught yet.
Or Groucho marx in his day?
They do have standards no matter how low .... how many fence posts did you see at USC?
Do their shoes pinch much? Oh those poor SOULS! (Democrats all?)
Ackroyd played the best Christmas Santa ever in that movie.
You are on a roll today!
Being caught means they are stupid—no stupid people allowed at the club.
One of my favourite movies.
Back in the day she was Ralph Lauren’s top model & she represented his Lauren perfume. Absolutely stunning.
SC has a lower acceptance rate than UCLA does.
You can bet that the club does not have many minority members. Perhaps they should waive their initiation fee for BLM members. That fee is perhaps over $100,000 to join besides monthly dues.
“The thing is, USC isn’t that hard to get in to.”
It probably is if you didn’t bother to learn anything K-12.
Inquiring minds want to know, just how big of a check are we talking?. LOL
Best Christmas movie ever!
So, how about being a whore? Can you be a porn star and be in the club? I bet you can and there are plenty of porn stars in that club.
