In the comments to
this morning's post about Robert Kraft's arrest for paying for hand jobs, Meade wrote:
Robert Kraft was horny, f**kless and losing patience.
An aide, joining him on a trip to Florida, had googled and found a high-priced escort service for his boss while hauling their bags through an airport terminal. But once onboard, he delivered the grim news: He had lost his cell phone before reaching the gate, and with it, the contact information for the escort service.
What happened next was typical: Mr. Kraft berated his aide instantly for the slip-up. What happened after that was not: He pulled into a strip mall featuring a day spa massage parlor.
When Mr. Kraft returned to the car, he handed something to his staff member with a directive: Clean it.
That's a riff on
something we talked about last night, a
New York Times article that began:
Senator Amy Klobuchar was hungry, forkless and losing patience.
An aide, joining her on a trip to South Carolina in 2008, had procured a salad for his boss while hauling their bags through an airport terminal. But once onboard, he delivered the grim news: He had fumbled the plastic eating utensils before reaching the gate, and the crew did not have any forks on such a short flight.
What happened next was typical: Ms. Klobuchar berated her aide instantly for the slip-up. What happened after that was not: She pulled a comb from her bag and began eating the salad with it, according to four people familiar with the episode.
Then she handed the comb to her staff member with a directive: Clean it.

The hand job should be legal. Cleaning the residue? Maybe not.
Kraft gets off with hand jobs.
Klobuchar gets off being mean to the people who work for her.
Different strokes and all that.
Which is worse?
Klobuchar is innovative, a mistress of lateral thinking.
@Achilles- I was just thinking the salad with comb incident seemed worse.
Please don't let this thread go into entropy by talking about whether prostitution should be legal. That's something being talked about in an earlier post today AND in a post yesterday.
Please fight for the resistance in The Era of That's Not Funny.
At least here.
Sounds like Klobuchar could use a good massage.
I'm still trying to get my head around how you eat salad with a comb.
Scoop or stab?
they should do a remake of "Swimming with Sharks" for Klobuchar

Buddy delights in abusing his boy-toy (exemplified by the scene in which he forbids Guy to go to the bathroom as he pours water back and forth from a glass to a pitcher).
Lateral Thinking should be the name of this blog
LOL. mcc gets it.
Kraft wavered going in. The senior citizen discount was the clincher.
Amy and Bob should get together.
I knew the beginning couldn't be a true story about Robert Kraft. He would never berate an aide.
The rest ...
From Super Bowls to Salad Bowls, at least the story had a happy ending.
"He would never berate an aide."
There was a time when people said he would never go to a strip mall for hand job.

Much worse.
I think how you treat the people who work for you or follow your lead is the second most important defining and important characteristic of a leader. They are your responsibility.
Klobuchar would treat us just like she treats her staff. Just as Bernie Sanders has no problems being wealthy and complaining about other wealthy people Klobuchar is a nasty person who pretends to be else. The people that work for her need a job. Only the most desperate staffers in dc remain working for her as her turnover has been highest in DC for a long time.
Kraft probably left a substantial tip after making his request.
Achilles,
"I think how you treat the people who work for you or follow your lead is the second most important defining and important characteristic of a leader."
Absolutely.
Or as Dave Barry put it, "A person who is nice to you, but not nice to the waiter, is not a nice person."
Sometimes a strip mall isn’t really a Strip mall.
Didn't Putin steal one of Kraft's Super Bowl rings? He better hope Kraft is a lefty!

aren't you going to ask me why I did that?
OK, hope I'm not hijacking. But my wife pointed out that the NY Times photo of AK in that horrible blue outfit made her look really fat. So I was curious and googled AK fat and AK weight loss and a couple other derivs sure I would find discussions, but got no relevant hits in like first 2-3 pages of each result. That seems just bizarre. I wonder if Google has tweaked the algorithms on (at least some) candidate results for mean-spirited searches like that.
This needs a poll question:
Klobuchar is innovative, a mistress of lateral thinking.
Klobuchar is a bitch.
Heh. That's funny, Meade.
@ Virgil Hilts
That wasn't Amy Klobuchar.
Sooooo--- is this a "toss her salad" joke? Kraft Dressing? What???

Fat, indeed, Vergil. A veritable rhino! Did the NYT no know this?.....Nah, no way.
The Kraft legacy:
2002 Super Bowl Ring
2004 Super Bowl Ring
2005 Super Bowl Ring
2015 Super Bowl Ring
2017 Super Bowl Ring
2019 Super Bowl Ring
2019 Prostitution Ring. (Comment stolen from the Boston Herald)
That'd be 7 seven by my count, 3 to go to cover both hands.
If oral sex isn't sex, is a hand job prostitution?
Klobuchar is winning me over. What a revolting development that is. Trump can't brand her as a political fool because she acts so authentic like he does. Once she starts Tweeting, Trump will have a race on his hands. He needs to send Kellyann out to ridicule her early.Or maybe he can have the FBI start a counter Intelligence Investigation for her being a Russian Agent and leak it to the press. That always works.
Not sure I've figured out the Klobuchar saga.
Perhaps, as Ann intimates, this is the Harris camp's rumor mongering, with appropriate exaggeration, to kneecap a rival competing for a similar primary voter block.
And/or... perhaps Klobuchar really is freakish and abusive, along the lines of Sheila Jackson Lee and several other Congress-creatures. It might just be very *easy* for newspapers to track down embittered former staffers. Perhaps the gossip also comes from a wide variety of Democrat establishment types, who realize that Klobuchar's alleged foulness will eventually lead to big embarrassments for the party, if she gets any traction early.
Mr. Kraft is not running for public office. Sen. Klobuchar is. His character is less critical than hers.
I’m trying to understand why she didn’t have the comb washed before she used it to eat her salad.
Kenneth Anderson: "Not sure I've figured out the Klobuchar saga.

It's much more than potential rumor mongering by a AK rival.
This is the NYT, in all its wokeness, doing a number on AK. That tells you alot. The NYT is a fully integrated communications and disinformation tool of the democrat party.
This isnt one editor or two making a call to help their fav.
This is the lefty/dem establishment using one of their major weapons to warn AK off this path in order to clear out the candidate chaff for a party favorite.
"We can hurt you with combs, salads and manual duties performed by staff...take the hint AK....before someone really gets hurt..."
I'm picturing one of those Afro picks rather than a fine-toothed comb and wondering why she carries one of those.
Amy Klobuchar has literally no forks left to give.
Growing impatient with her staffer as her soup began to get cold,
Amy reached into her purse.
"Nevermind, Dumbass--" she said as she tore thru the wrapper of her tampon.
"I'm picturing one of those Afro picks rather than a fine-toothed comb and wondering why she carries one of those."
That's what I pictured too.
The reason she might use a pick would be if her hair is teased and sculpted into place and she wants to be able to get in there and lift it, poof it up. You don't really want to comb hair like that. It's not like a man's slicked back style that you rake through. The tangles are part of the structure.
It seems Amy Klobuchar has kind of unforked up.
"Amy Klobuchar has literally no forks left to give."
And her staff doesn't give a fork either.
Robert Kraft was not "old money".
He is most definitely "noveau".
In any case, it seems he or his personal assistant (I suppose in earlier times that would have been his valet) had made proper arrangements to see to his needs. The fault was in dealing with a minor reverse of fortune. Gentlemen should know how to accept such with grace.
That is some fine parody, Meade!
remember that Breck commercial, where the comb glides down the hair all by itself?
She should market her own brand of salad dressing.
Get "Amy's" for a luxurious, silky, tangle-free salad!
Welcome to Hairy Stylze Salon, Ms Klobutcher--
what 'look' are you interested in?
" I was thinking maybe the Nicoise, or the Waldorf "
Kraft needs a Jeeves, but doesn't have the breeding to know that he does, or how to find one.
Gin Blossoms Lyrics
"Hey Jealousy"
Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
[Chorus x2]
Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
[Chorus x2]
Hey jealousy
She took my heart
Well there's only one thing I couldn't start
Thinking on it a bit - women are at quite a disadvantage.
A prudent man would understand that in an unfamiliar position where social faux pas are likely, through ignorance or indiscipline, that he may need training and expert advice. It is easier for men to build teams and establish trust between team players, where even the leader defers to a specialist where and when it comes to his ambit. Its easier for a man to find a Jeeves, and to assign him his proper value.
Women? Its much more of a problem. I dont think women like to learn these things from other women, other than, possibly, their mothers or grandmothers. It may be that few women can even know what to look for in a social advisor. A properly bred lady can rely on herself, and can do magnificently, but she has to have been formed that way from the start.
She is by far the best Democrat candidate so far
MORE!
Should have told Kraft... go way, beat it.
For some reason, this made me think of the Times story about a computer firm that kindly adjusts its workplace for autistic employees.
Maybe the reason is that Klobuchar sounds like a feckless *itch.
But nothing beats Kamala Harris holding hands with Al Sharpton. That's worse than eating salad with a dirty comb.
EDH said: "I'm still trying to get my head around how you eat salad with a comb."
She wasn't trying to eat it. She just wanted to comb the alfalfa sprouts.
Kraft meant to order the Blue Plate special.
With his accent, and the fact the masseuse was foreign-born, she thought he ordered the Blue Ball special.
You cannot eat the Blue Ball special with a fork. Or a comb.
That, friends, is impossible.
Klobuchar is innovative, a mistress of lateral thinking
Forward lateral thinking©
A bit ot but I seem to be watching a number of Australian /nz tv seties of late. Underbelly, Rake, outrageous Fortune and some others. All good, outrageous fortune is great.
One of the thing I am learning is that blowjobs seem to be just a friendly alternative to shaking hands.
This is over the air network tv. It can get almost as explicit as anything on hbo.
Including visible swallowing.
And here we are penalizing penile massage.
I am unclear on whether the women in this joint were coerced. If so, I support the raids 100%. If not coercef, I fail to see the problem.
