Please Don’t Gag
I got an email today from Mrs. Roger Stone. I do not know Mrs. Roger Stone. What I do know is that like Blanche DuBois she depends on the kindness of strangers.
Bless her heart. Click the little one to see the big one.
I cut it off because that’s all that would fit in my screen grab, but I did you a favor.
Like Blanche, Mrs. Roger Stone married poorly to an untrustworthy man.
Bless her heart, living in a one bedroom apartment in Washington, DC. Life in the fast lane is so cruel. You’d think her family friend Donald Trump would at least put her up in a nice suite at Trump Tower.
That was quick! How did they “lose” everything like that?
Schadenfreude lifts it’s head and asks, “Am I on?”
1Thoughts and prayers.
2Really.
Poor dear.
3Did she consider calling Michael Moore for help with a video, “Roger and Me?” But instead of a search for Roger, it’s a search for Roger’s hidden assets, which he buried like a squirrel in undisclosed locations.
Maybe the Dumpster Tower only has ‘suites’. If not he could, at the very least’ treat her to a single room.
A “billionaire” should be able to be generous to “true believer”!
4You’re a treasure of fascinating information, JJ. Because of this I had to go to Wikipedia and read the entire plot of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Not particularly interested in Mrs. Stone’s sad tale either, and it’s even less believable than A.S.N.D. However, like Diane says, I will happily send her thoughts and prayers.
5i just cannot imagine roger not having a rainy day fund stashed somewhere….
6@AK Lynnn You are far too generous.
Stone made a living out of propping up Personal Responsibility/Law and Order/Fiscal Conservative politicians who eagerly embraced and pushed laws and policies that destroyed and killed an unknowable number of people’s lives. Via their religious jihad war on drugs. Via their push-everything-up acceleration of income inequality. Via their insane overseas wars based on lies.
Many people who’s lives were ground down will never have the opportunity to accumulate 7-figures of wealth “writing and speaking” and skimming income from high-level connections. Instead if they are still living they will have to fight to the death for a nickel raise in the minimum wage and still wonder how they are going to pay for the rent while they are conducting bake sales for their underfunded public schools.
It is OK to feel bad for “Mrs. Stone” but someone should remind her that if she were a liberal she would be getting all sorts of free stuff right now paid for with money taxed off of real Americans.
7It’s commonly known that he only rents so that prosecutors can’t attach his property. I’m sure his unreported offshore accounts are doing just fine!
8s’okay. Pretty soon that nice Mr. Stone won’t have to spend his money on all those nice suits, cause the feds will provide him a spiffy orange jumpsuit. And a room. And meals.
Then Mrs. Stone, that special snowflake, can start raking in fees for appearances complaining about how awful the federal gummit treats her poor husband.
See? It all works out!
9“Mrs. Stone” really needs to get out and see how the rest of the country lives. See how honorable people live & do honest day’s work that produces things of true value. Not scamming & cheating others for personal gain.
Oh geez, who am I kidding? People like the Stones have no empathy.
10Good. She can now get a clue as to how most ordinary citizens with any special connections, live; In fear that they’ll be out on the street if they can’t afford a place ot live, without insurance, without adequate food, even though they work.
My thoughts and prayers.
11@ Diane: Yes, thoughts and prayers… I’m thinking about 20 years in Club Fed, and praying for justice to be served.
12I don’t know why she doesn’t just get a second job, or one that pays better. Her inability to plan ahead isn’t the concern of us, or the government.
Personal responsibility, Mrs. Stone, personal responsibility! And if you DO manage to “scape” some money together for better housing, remember to pay your taxes on it!
13Charles R Phillips @ 13,
She need to be told what the GOP would tell us. Don’t count on us to help you get food stamps or get you in subsidized housing. Now run along and go get a job at a fast food place.
14What are the odds that “Mrs. Roger Stone” isn’t really Mrs. Roger Stone, but actually some guy in his 40s living in his mother’s basement, wearing pajamas, or less?
15If any part of this is true — if — the Stones know what it’s like to be a government employee on unpaid “furlough” because of one fool throwing a tantrum over WALL. I suggest they seek out food pantries and soup kitchens in the vicinity of their new one-bedroom, and learn about public transportation, thrift shops, and places to pawn jewelry, silverware and heirlooms. To quote a Mel Brooks movie, “Life Stinks.”
Sears is gone, but Walmart may be hiring.
16A one bedroom apartment in D.C. can 1.) yes, cost a mint because that sort of real estate is aimed totally at plutocrats and 2.) can be the size of hotel ballroom. Believe me, he’s got resources squirreled away somewhere. That fake Mrs. Stone can well . . . gotta stop here. My mama told me never to say such things if I ever want to go to heaven.
17Did some digging because I remembered reading something about his financial situation.
Roger Stone rented an $11,000.00/ month house when it was raided in Florida.
He rented this house because he has a lien against his property for $1.48 million dollars. Seems Roger is adverse to paying taxes.
18But has no problem asking ‘the little people’ to give him their hard earned money.
I wonder how much of this shameful letter was cribbed from a similar one from Linda Lay whose husband Kenneth was instrumental in the downfall of Enron . If I recall she stated she had to hold a yard sale.
19Roger really shouldn’t have spent so much money on that Richard Nixon tattoo he has on his back. Really.
20Suzanne: or swingers’ club membership fees.
