[L.N. Smithee]

A warning to the sensitive: The fourteen pages of the deposition that The Smoking Gun has posted are shocking in the way that Sterling raves about the sexual talent of Ms. Castro time and time again. It's almost like a letter to Penthouse, but he is speaking for posterity before several witnesses instead of writing and sending it anonymously. He even speaks without any apparent fear or shame about how much time he spent with his wife and family all week long, and then continued to note how the beautiful Castro was at his beck and call, and turned him inside out whenever she needed cash.

Nonetheless, near the end, when apparently the subject of a possible pregnancy comes up, Sterling all of a sudden becomes quasi-evangelical:

---

[Sterling:] ...I wouldn't have a child and certainly not with that piece of trash. Come on. This girl is the lowest form. Wait until the men testify as to -- she is a freak. A total freak.

[Attorney:] Now, when was it that you became of the opinion that she is a woman of the lowest form? When was that?

[Sterling:] Well, I will tell you. When a woman excites you, sometimes that part of your body controls your mind. I knew from the day she came in that she was a total freak and a piece of trash...

---

Apparently, because 'that part' of Sterling's body controlled his mind, he forgot that whether or not he would "have a child" with such "a piece of trash" was not up to him -- it was up to the "piece of trash." (Roe vs. Wade, SCOTUS, 1973)

I don't know what has become of Sterling's wife, whether she remained with him after Castro called her and spilled the beans about her trysts with the vise-grip-fisted owner, but if she is sticking around after she has read this deposition, I have less respect for her than I do Mrs. McGreevey. At least Gay-vernor Jim has the lame excuse about being conflicted about his sexuality; Sterling is a hetero whoremonger and, judging from these excerpts, seems durn proud of it.

Next thing you know, he'll run for President on the Democratic ticket.

Good God Amos! This cat sounds like my college dorm room mate.

Nah, he's not gay enough.

But can she dunk?

[NYCVirago]

Sterling is not just a pervert and a cheapskate, he's a poor businessman. Big deal that his franchise is worth $200 million -- it's in the second-biggest media market in the country and should be worth twice that. Heck, just the franchise cost for starting the Charlotte Bobcats was $300 million.

Do you know what this lawsuit is about? Did the hooker sue him, so he sued her, or what? That's what it sounded like. He was too cheap to even buy discretion with a hooker!

[finnigan2]

Listen, you're a 70+ year old billionaire whose found a $500. a trick hooker that can do things his wife has never thought about for the past 30 years. He's in seventh heaven. Let him enjoy his sunset years - the old coot can afford it and I suspect all the men on this site in a similar situation would carry on the same way.

[snickering]

Well, I guess I'm going to have to revise my earlier opinion of The Other Donald. He is willing to spend money. Just not on basketball.

[AngryJawa]

Gee, I can spend $500 on a freaky hooker or millions on a collection of thug roundball players.

Let me think about that. I'll get back to you.
