strathmeyer: So, who is Leona Helmsley? Some old bat?

A billionaire convicted of tax evasion twenty years ago. She's only remarkable for antics like this:

"Lawyer Alan Dershowitz said he once had breakfast with Leona at one of the Helmsley hotels and the waiter brought him a cup of tea with a tiny bit of water spilled on the saucer. Alan says Leona grabbed the cup from him and smashed it on the floor, then demanded that the waiter get down on his hands and knees and beg for his job."

I heard she left her dog 20 million and donated the rest to charity.

Actually, given her age, DO NOT WANT. Probably gives "Old Spice" a new meaning *cringe*

As unlikely as it sounds, she was the biggest philanthropist of the year last year. Subby, you fail.

misanthropy

noun
1. hatred of mankind
2. a disposition to dislike and mistrust other people


Since i'm sure i'm not the only farker who didn't know what that meant..

A better use would be to turn her old clothes into rags.

Rags to be used by poor people to wipe dog crap from their shoes and such.

/the world's a better place without people like her.

Brown Jenkems: Misanthropy is underrated.

Agreed but she was no misanthrope. mis·an·thrope /ˈmɪsənˌθroʊp, ˈmɪz-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[mis-uhn-throhp, miz-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
-noun
a hater of humankind.


This she most definitely was not.

Johnathan Swift, now there was a person who came awfully close.

 
farkplug 2008-03-10 12:00:51 AM  
She didn't hate all people, just little people.

Damnit, this country has become a nation of pussies. Even the French knew wthat to do with these people. If this country had any balls, we would have fed Leona Helmsley's face into a circular saw long before she had a chance to die of natural causes.

Unfortunately, we have become a willing fiefdom.

I've seen that face. I think we did.

God, what a pathetic hag.

Believe it or not... The estate of the late L.Helmsley is one of the most generous philanthropic entities in existence!

Oops...came in late w/ that one...

One could ask how she came about that money... I seriously doubt she got it by being a wonderful person.

And isn't it a little late to be "generous" when you're dead? If she'd been a real warm and fuzzy person, she'd have started being generous before she kicked it... rather than hoping people would forget how she came about her money, if she just gave it all away when she died...

Who did she hurt to get it? If someone robs and lies and cheats, and then, after the person dies, gives all the stolen money to charity, does that mean the person is suddenly transformed into a saint?

If she'd gotten the money by writing books or by making inventions, that'd be one thing... but she got her money in one of the most cut-throat businesses there is. I doubt it's totally clean money, by any measure.

She got to live the life she wanted to live, the way she wanted to live it, and suffered not a whit for being "generous". She never went without, never felt deprivation. She got the best of both worlds... she got to live the life of obscene wealth, and when she died (at a very old age), she gets to be remembered as a great philanthropist... never mind how she got the money in the first place, right?

The collection could fetch as much as $100,000 $1.

Why are you telling me? I never said she was.

 
texastag 2008-03-10 04:15:08 AM  
She should have been lucky enough to get one of those personal assistants that snap like a twig and go totally sickhouse on their employer. You know, like the one that beat the crap out of David Spade?

Watch this movie you'll see what I mean...

nah. I save my misanthropy for the bus ride to work.

You, sir, win at this thread... and the internet for that matter.

Sam & Max 4 eva. And I'm not talking that new bullshiat posing as Sam & Max either.

This is exactly what I thought of when I saw this headline. Great job!

Who the hell would want to wear her used shoes? I'm reminded of the The Twilight Zone episode titled "Dead Womans Shoes".

Link (new window)

I can't imagine what would happen to the woman who wears her shoes.

 
Thwyx 2008-03-10 09:01:45 AM  
She was a werewolf?

 
DinsdalePiranha 2008-03-10 10:25:21 AM  
Wow. Everyone here knows what kind of a biatch she was, or at least how the media told us she was.
