In a Bankruptcy Court filing last week, attorneys for Frank McCourt alleged that Selig responded to the "enormous negative publicity" of the divorce trial by hatching a plan to choke off the Dodgers' money supply and force a sale of the team.Until someone imposes Second Amendment remediation on these sad excuses for human beings, Americans will all be rightfully condemned as punk-ass chumps.
The league has alleged McCourt's financial mismanagement in asking the Bankruptcy Court to order a sale. Still, there is little doubt that the divorce proceedings engendered "enormous negative publicity."
Frank fired Jamie as the Dodgers' chief executive in a termination letter that cited "insubordination, non-responsiveness, failure to follow procedures and inappropriate behavior with a direct subordinate," a reference to an affair Frank alleged Jamie had with her driver.
When Jamie initiated the divorce proceedings — one week shy of what would have been the couple's 30th anniversary — she revealed the details of a lavish lifestyle ultimately financed by Dodgers fans.
"Frank and I enjoyed the many perquisites and benefits that come with owning a Major League Baseball team," she wrote in a court declaration.
She wrote of combined salaries of $7 million per year, plus $46 million to buy side-by-side oceanfront estates in Malibu, $27 million to buy side-by-side homes near the Playboy Mansion, additional properties in Massachusetts, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Mexico, $400 dinners and $1,000 per-night hotels, private jet travel around the world, even house calls from hairdressers and makeup artists.

I imagine they got a lot of taxpayer dollars to subsidize their little venture.
I'll see you and raise, M.B.
Meet the ex-Mayor of Dallas, TX, and currently running Senate Candidate Tom Leppert.

The rich come pre-stuffed!
Eating the Rich Editor:
Pâte De Honkie. Umm umm good!
Our plutocrats at least keep their mouths shut. And one thing we'll say for WaMu, they didn't charge for using our gummint-issued general relief card, unlike BofA, which wanted US$3.00/transaction.
The McGorts didn't screw the taxpayers that much, but they pulled some fast ones on their fellow not-rich but pretending to be types. Sadly, we don't think previous owner News Corporation lost anything in the deal.
The real public screwing was the former Brooklyn Bums helping themselves to Chavez Ravine in the late '50s in a land swap.
And of course we fans got fugged in the poop chute, if not beaten in the US$15.00/car parking lot. Couple more good pitchers & ... oh, never mind ...
