Soon to be a major motion picture. Sadly.

” 79ft powerboat “ ?

Wouldn’t that be a yacht?

[Vendome]

yaht’s right, it was probably named the Yahtzee. /s

From Mont Blanc to the pen... sorta fitting.

[csvset]

Sure, sounds like a yacht to me.

If I were to abscond somewhere, camping out in the snow wouldn't be the ideal spot for me.

I would have preferred a more temperate climate and probably would have been caught sooner too!

A sailboat can also be a yacht.

JUst asked a commercial skipper that last night. He said that a yacht is any sized boat that is used strictly for pleasure.

Health care fraud....hmmmm. Guess he can bunk with Obama.

[Maine Mariner]

Well in the world of 150-300 foot mega yachts, no!

[Vaquero]

Why would a plastic surgeon diagnose cancer, in lieu of working on her schnozzola....sounds like he was working right where he needed to work...this sounds like a preemptive strike on capitalistic health care by the newly 'Marxist' US Government....or I could be wrong, because the whole thing is being reported by the MSM.....and I can't trust the source.

His name is Doctor Elmer Fudd, he has a mansion and a yacht.

I feel so ashamed. ANOTHER kookball who hales from dear old PENN; The University of Pennsylvania. Sad to say, I guess all the Ivy League schools have long since made oblique left turns and are now turning out those kinds of screwball alumni.

For several years I have been telling myself that the little crackpot Professor from Penn, with the hyphenated name, that Bill Oreilly has on his show waaaaay too often is an aberration; that Penn really hasn’t gone that far left. But now here comes this POS Penn alumnus, Weinberger, that they caught up with in Italy, and my hopes have taken yet another dive!

rough life.. waking up on a yacht in greece...

[cpa4you]

Quit your bitchin’. My alum include Scott Peterson and Weird Al!

[sportutegrl]

yaht’s right, it was probably named the Yahtzee. /s

Isn't that a river in China? ;>

[stefanbatory]

my only alumni claim to fame is Jerry Doyle...

Aright I am now a proud owner of a 18 ft yacht, cool.

Never allow a good crisis to go to waste.

Betcha he’s a friend of Barry’s and Meeshell’s. Bet that if he goes to trial, he’ll be pardoned by Barry right before he vacates the White House in 2013.

Someone check to see if he has been on the guest lists of the rich and Democrats in Chicago.
