I've heard of the Nazi party, but this is ridiculous ...

And we think we have sex scandals in this country. Over in Britain and Europe, they know how to get things done - and that's not necessarily a compliment. Actually, in the case of a elder English gent named Max Mosley, it definitely isn't. Mosley is the head of the Formula One racing circuit - or, at least, he is as of this very moment. How long that will last remains to be seen now that the 67-year-old Mosley has been photographed taking part in an orgy that involved ladies of the evening. But that's not the "best" part of the story - after all, orgies on the other side of the pond usually don't make that much of a stir. But if the orgy included prostitutes dressed as Nazi guards - well, that could be a bit of a problem.

As you can imagine, the clamor for Mosley to resign his post has been loud and fierce. And adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Mosley's father, in addition to having a nerdy first name (Oswald!), was the U.K. leading fascist back in the day, not to mention a running buddy with one Adolf Hitler. So one could look at Max's antics as being more than just a bad joke. Don't be surprised if Mr. Mosley races for the exit real soon. Hope the ride was worth it.

Spit(zer) Take ...



I know Eliot Spitzer said that he wanted to bring perpetrators of vice and such to their knees as governor of New York, but this is ridiculous!

But seriously, folks, of all of the offensives Gov. Spitzer is accused of in this situation - and being an idiot is right at the top (Yeah, a politician whose entire rep is built upon being a law-and-order, take-no-prisoners tough guy gets caught with his pants down ... literally? Not exactly Albert Einstein, no?) - the worst thing about this story? His last recorded "business transaction" with on Feb. 13, the day before Valentine's Day! Something tells me that it's going to take more than roses and a box of chocolates to get Eliot out of the scalding water he's now in with his wife.

Something also tells me that Dick Wolf's head just exploded as he thinks about all of the Law & Order episodes he's going to get out of this story. Or at least that permanent boil on the side of Wolf's head just exploded. Nah, it's probably the entire cranium.
