isn't he the gay one?

I guess he'll have a real SUVIVOR test in the Big House ... especially since he likes to "catch" instead of "pitch".

The way Chris Matthews misreports, he'll have this being "Orrin Hatch" before his show is over, with some Dim talking head being the AMEN chorus.

Hatch's lawyer, Michael Minns, said Hatch caught fellow contestants cheating and struck a deal with producers for the show to pay his taxes if he won.

How would that explain his failure to pay taxes for the Boston radio gig?

Instead,Minns told jurors Hatch was the "world's worst bookkeeper"...

This line would work in Massachusetts...if your name was Kerry or Kennedy.

While i'm not surprised the government is making someone pay taxes; i thought the argument was he made the money in a foreign country, not because producers agreed to pay his taxes for him.

This guy was screwed from the beginning...taking it all the way to court was stupid.



We have learned that gay Hatch does better taking it than giving it.

Surprising that this would happen. The Feds want their taxes immediately and take their cut even before you collect your winnings. And then if you overpaid, you file later for a refund.

I told you I'd get even, Richard, you pig!

Mr. Hatch had best wear a few more clothes when he checks into the crowbar motel. Unless, of course, he wants to win the Miss Congeniality award.

Survivor ping!

Hey ... he can even get married in a Rhode Island prison, can't he?

[elc]

He was taken into custody immediately because he's considered a flight risk. I love it!

[JoeGar]

Torres said he expected a sentence of between 33 months and 41 months, but it could be longer because prosecutors accuse Hatch of committing perjury during his testimony.

It ain't over yet.

The Tribe has spoken

He just can't stay out of trouble. There was problems with his kid, then something with his new house and now this.

[Ima Lurker]

Shouldn't that read Survivor's fat naked stupid guy?

Still, for some reason I can't explain, I feel sorry for him.
