I stopped at
executive producer of Jack Abramoff ās anti-communist film āRed Scorpionā;
laughed and made myself another drink.
Thanks for the primer. I suspect weāll be learning a lot about Comrade Erickson in the near future. In the next round of indictments, at least.
chopped his penis off with a steak knife
Whoever wrote this (@allegra) does not understand chopping, or steak knives, or penises.
On the other hand, thereās a lot I donāt understand, either.
The key to Erickson is hubris:
āHappenstance and the [sometimes] international reach of the NRA placed me in a position a couple of years ago to slowly begin cultivating a back-channel to President Putinās Kremlin.ā
O the schadenfreude!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Someone tell Paul to tell his mama to sell the outhouse cause he just lost his ass.
Being lazy and not at all ambitious, Iām considering a second G & T.
You?
One bizarre stint was serving as a media adviser for John Wayne Bobbitt, the Virginia man whose wife, Loretta, chopped his penis off with a steak knife. Per contemporaneous news reports, Erickson booked Bobbitt on an international āLove Hurtsā tour to help him raise funds. The tour involved media hits on outlets like āThe Howard Stern Showā and selling autographed steak knives.
Who the hell is writing this series?
Welcome to the swampā¦sheesh, what a dirtbag. The best part is a guy like this has no loyalty to anyone but himselfā¦now that heās been outed, you can bet heāll sing whatever he has to to avoid punishment. I have a feeling the only reason heās not in jail yet is because they are monitoring his reactions to Butinaās arrest to see which way he tries to jump. Itās going to be very interesting to watch this thread and see where it goes.
Maybe she was saving some of us the pain of considering steak knives and how they would be usedā¦chopping seems more humane. 
This Vanity Fair article contains one of my favorite lines in recent memory:
āPaul Ericksonā¦College Republicansā¦Jack Abramoffā¦Pat Buchananā¦the NRAā¦ā
Honest to G-d.
Is it possible that Abraham Lincoln was the only Republican in history not in the Kremlinās pocket?
(PS: As a side note to Ms. Kirkland, itās āLorenaā Bobbitt, not āLorettaā.)
I never saw such a pack of flakes and weirdos in my whole not-short life. Where do they get these people?
The Republican Party.
You go to treason with the operatives you have, not the operatives you might want.
Strange times make for strange bedfellows, eh. Iām gonna grab a beer.
Love G & T but my bar stock is low today so I had to settle for Willet Bourbon on ice.
(big almost tennis ball sized cubes I make in the freezer)
Wow!!
A former Pat Buchanan operative? The plot seems to thickens, and itās not for the good, either. Not in this instance.
Jack Abramoff, Pat Buchanan, an African dictator, John Bobbitt, and the NRA. That is quite the quintet.
