All bets are off
In case you didn't know, Alan Schlesinger -- the Republican senatorial candidate who will run against Joe Lieberman, Ned Lamont, or both -- has a gambling problem.
Well, jeeze...all Repubs have a gambling problem. They gambled their careers and our lives on a 100-to-one loser who only could win by cheating. And why did they bet the whole pot on a 100-1 loser?
Because they thought he would put them on Easy Street.
I agree with joy tomme. These guys sure know when to take a "chance," don't they?
"Six months before the 9/11 attacks the World Trade Center was "privatized" by being leased to a private sector developer. The lease was purchased by the Silverstein Group for $3.2 billion... It was well-known by the city of New York that the WTC was an asbestos bombshell. For years, the Port Authority treated the building like an aging dinosaur, attempting on several occasions to get permits to demolish the building for liability reasons, but being turned down due the known asbestos problem. Further, it was well-known the only reason the building was still standing until 9/11 was because it was too costly to disassemble the twin towers floor by floor since the Port Authority was prohibited legally from demolishing the buildings... The perfect collapse of the twin towers changed the picture."
"A federal jury on Monday ruled that the assault on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center was in fact two occurrences for insurance purposes. The finding in U.S. District Court in Manhattan means leaseholder Larry Silverstein may collect up to $4.6 billion, according to reports."

Now that's a gambling problem.
