This is hilarious! I’ve had those same lyrics running through my melon off and on for 4 or 5 days now. What are the chances of that!?!?
The Stones have soooo many great songs in their catalog.
I don't care too much for money
'Cause money can't buy me love
The NYT is part of the left-wing decivilization media cabal. The left can never do anything wrong, and if they do, the Slimes won't cover it. If they scandal is too big to be buried, they'll shift the blame to Republicans or they claim that everyone does it.
Go woke, go broke:
The LA Times is losing $50B/year, laying off people, and "The paper‘s executive editor has “abruptly” resigned after only three years on the job."
50-ya, the LA Times was a reputable paper. When a union tried to organize, the Times would raise the pay scales, and the union would gain no traction. Now, it's a dead man walking. It won't be missed, except by those bloggers who like to read it, and comment about particular stories.
It was just an office fling
But here’s teh thing
Ya can’t pay the piper
fo’ makin’ the snizz sing
like Pavarotti
On the taxpayer dime
The chubby home-wrecker got up in a church -- a Negro church, of course, but still -- and said that she had paid all her contract lawyers the same. How long did she think that lie was going to last?
Have you seen the video? There she is, lying as only a lawyer can lie, and playing that race card with the fat-woman extra credit, and all those deacons and sheacons or whatever nodding and scowling away, at the inconceivable perfidy of the white man. Oh wait. She was paying her fancy-man with grift that was rightfully ours?
Then there's Nathan Wade. For some reason he didn't get up there alongside her in the House of God. Stupid bastard is probably still thinking they're going to let him keep all that money, if just lies low. Maybe head back to Aruba. Let Fani sort all this out, she's smart! He should have stayed married to the pretty one a little longer. Turns out, she's going to be rich.
An "office romance" subsidized by taxpayers.
She's actually not very complicated.
There's a video from 2020 where Ms. Willis says she didn't want anybody in her office dating each other; she also would not date somebody who was working for her; and tazpayers should not have to pay for lawsuits re sexucal misconduct.
So she was saying, "No riding the working stock". But that was rules for you--not for her. In a way that's all part of the Democrat Elite Mantra--we can do whatever we want, you'll pay for it, and do as I say, not as I do.
And it's also different from the usual "office romance". She hired her inexperienced boy toy (probably a good lawyer, but hired for a job way outside of his experience and expertise) and paid him a million smackeroos of taxpayer dough. And some of that money came back as funding expensive "romantic" trips.
An office romance in which Willis is expropriating government funds for vacations and what not, but I guess it is racist to call her crooked.
It's the allegations that have complicated matteres, not alleged romance itself
Waste, fraud, abuse, and an adulterous affair.
Maybe she thought the case was going to dissolve and she thought why not take advantage of it while it lives.
I’m trying to fathom her frame of mind
"The LA Times is losing $50B/year, laying off people, and "The paper‘s executive editor has “abruptly” resigned after only three years on the job."
$50 Billion? Million, maybe?
I've seen speculation that Willis will have to step aside and someone else take the reigns. Isn't this solely her case? Who's above her that's pushing this? (The White House, I know, but that's not an official chain of command.)
I think the word "complicated" is being used sarcastically in the Stones song. When I hear someone use that word, they are usually trying to soft-pedal what is actually something more deleterious. And that's why the NYT used it.
"Skeptical Voter said...
She hired her inexperienced boy toy (probably a good lawyer, but hired for a job way outside of his experience and expertise)"
Probably? Why? Come on, he's as culpable as she is.
"Complicated" has become a wide ranging euphemism for all sorts of inexplicable behaviors. She must have had a risk/reward calculus. Did she think that Atlanta voters and the MSM would give her a pass on this? Certainly the NYT is happy to downgrade the matter to an office romance, one too many martinis at the Christmas party.
Let's see how it plays out. The judge might be in the bag.
Paint it black.
from someone on X
"He wasn’t in her office as he was outside counsel... so the "office romance" assertion is wrong.
The question is how she hired him, paid him lavishly, then profited by going on luxury vacation with the man..."
Any stories from "anonymous sources" or from sources "familiar with her thinking?"
I'm not sure these two are cut out to be lawyers. Is it too late for them to become aeronautical engineers?
Don't fall for the coordinated Putin-esque Leftwing spin.
This was not an "office Romance"
This is baseline economic corruption.
"This is hilarious! I’ve had those same lyrics running through my melon off and on for 4 or 5 days now. What are the chances of that!?!?"
I think if it's seared in your memory, it pops right up when the word "complicated" is used... especially if your response is sneering. Mick doesn't really think this woman is complicated. He's sarcastically repeating someone else's use of the descriptor.
The song that comes to mind when I hear "complicated" is by Avril Levine.
If a white prosecutor hired, lavishly paid and went on vacations funded by his mistress, I seriously doubt the NYT would characterize this as "complicated". They'd probably use a term like, "white privilege".
What a shame that this scandal doesn't involve white Republicans. This would make an interesting movie. Closer to farce than romance, but any scandal involving money and sex is worth a movie..... Maybe they can find some way to portray Willis as an underdog or a flawed but heroic seeker of justice I read somewhere that they're going to make Gay the Rosa Parks of Ivy League Presidents and make a movie out of her struggles. Maybe they can find some way to portray Willis in a sympathetic light. There are lots of creative and imaginative people in Hollywood. I'm inclined to think, however, that Fanni, like Jussie and those star crossed FBI lovers, has the kind of story that despite its inherent interest can best serve the national interests by being quickly deposited in the memory hole.
New York Times headline downplays Fani Willis corruption scandal as an “Office Romance”
How about "Third Rate Romance, High Rent Rendezvous"?
Since when is hiring your boyfriend an office romance?
On Wade's wife's credit card?
Not the sharpest light bulb in the drawer.
Between The Buttons - great album. "Miss Amanda Jones" is my fav.

Reigns?
"You say potato, I say tomato--let's call the whole thing off."

So.....the perfesser KNOWS the thought processes of someone she's never talked to or met!!
Somehow she KNOWs what prompted Iman to have those lyrics rattling round his noggin for days BEFORE Althouse published this piece, to sneer when the opportunity arose!!
That's World Class Clairvoyance, right there, ladies and gents!
