Hmmm, it looks like your Wonkette didn't bother to write even the littlest thing about two-time-Senate-loser and Wrasslin' Lady Linda McMahon this time around, probably because we had used up all our folding-chair jokes the first time around, and also probably because we didn't care. But in fact, it is AFTER her (second) loss that Linda McMahon has become interesting! And how has she done that? Well, once she'd blown $100 million of her own money on her two (losing) campaigns, it seems she didn't have enough left over to pay the uniformly low-income and African American folks who had been her (low-wage) fake-supporters, so they just waited and waited. But then they told the press "hey this rich lady isn't bothering to pay us!" So THEN they got checks with a condom in the envelope, so's they could fuck themselves! AND THEN THE CHECKS BOUNCED ANYWAY. Oh man.
There is something sort of sweet about the fact that in the election where he finally won, the Dems took veto-proof supermajorities in both houses. Have fun, Mr. Oberweis!
A better parsing would be "making some African-Americans work for no pay," or "making African-Americans work for insutingly low pay, especially compared to the gross receipts."
But rut roh, it's not the little people she owes the money, it's the check cashing company who already paid the little people. They'll probably send someone over with something a little more robust than a folding chair.
In many jurisdictions the DA will collect for you - up to treble damages (that does not refer to bad music, by the way).
Each person who got a rubber check can go to Small Claims Court - here in California you can request punitive damages. It's always a good idea to at least double your claim (plus costs, of course). That way when they offer to settle for 50%, you get what you were owed in the first place.
Forgive me if I've already posted this here: On the night of November 6th, after Gov. Romney had lost the election, his campaign cancelled all the credit cards issued to his workers.
So they had to pay out-of-pocket cash for their cab rides back to their hotels.
Dude gives empty suits a bad names.
{PS: I think the condom in the envelope is actually pretty funny. Mean, of course, But still pretty funny.}
Well, now you really will have to tell us exactly who you&#039;re talking about when you use the phrase &quot;<a href="http:\/\/wonkette.com\/469614\/check-kiting-grifter-newt-gingrich-stiffed-nevada-small-businessman-but-it-felt-like-a-kiss-video" target="_blank">Check-kiting grifter</a>&quot;
ETA: I suppose we do now have to admin, Newt really is the GOP&#039;s ideas man, but they&#039;re still <em>bad</em> ideas.

I see she is a grduate of the Leona Helmsley School of Etiquette.
Not intended! They rule.

Very funny!
Just how many years have you been saving that nugget?
I just saw a car with a fairly new looking &quot;John Edwards 2008&quot; bumpersnicker.

So does that mean we&#039;ll never get to learn the name of the compassionate hack who donated that condom?
Motown?

So, rubber [checks] and rubbers.
