He even named Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Johnson, who later testified that he was "absolutely, completely certain" he was not one of the 15 to 40 attorneys who got free drinks and lap dances at Friday afternoon "lawyer days" at Galardi's clubs.


I think I need to move to Las Vegas.

A golf game interrupted by sex is one hell of a way to spend the day. Add a couple of beers and a bottle of Captain Morgan, it'll be heaven.

Did the others play through?

/that's sort of a double entendre, right?

Vegas is gonna have to change their motto to "What happens in Vegas might eventually comes out in a federal trial so try not to leave a paper trail". Not quite as catchy unfortunatly.

Corruption? In Vegas? I am shocked...SHOCKED...well, not that shocked.

1.)Move to Vegas
2.)Become a Coucileman
3.)Profit

Sounds like a late night add, you know the ones that look like they were produced on a home PC.

She said, look at the little birdie!

/I did that once.
//I got poison ivy on my forearms and knees.
///She got it on her back and ass!

I look forward to the upcoming CSI episode where Grissom has his associates sift bunker sand for traces of ejaculate.

I'm betting that the defense wasn't expecting him to actually start naming names here. On the upside, I'm betting any attorney worth their salt has been retained by one of the people he fingered. Business sounds good. On the downside...well, I'm not certain there is a downside to this. I'm all for the exposure of corruption in Government.

Nah...this isn't a true, wild Vegas story until there's a dead body involved.

hahaha... my friend is one of the lawyers in this case..
he's getting paid in hookers as well... j/k

this was the one line that caught me off guard...

They asked Galardi to name names, and he obliged: fingering the mayor, judges, lawyers, the district attorney and county manager, a business license official.

Had to read it a couple times, at first I thought he just had busy hands!

I've lost a couple balls in the bush myself

Who hasn't had sex with a stripper in the woods during a golf tournament?

ahhhhh.... Heartbreaker's Golf Tournament in Houston, what fond mammaries.

It's good to be the king.

"strip club employee" = stripper?

"I've been working on my putts."

"That's nice. She's working on my putz right now."




/you've been great, tip your wait staff

kind of off-topic, but about law stuff...

at the airport recently i saw a Grisham book called "King of Tort."

seriously.

wtf, who wants to read about tort? as like recreational reading?

not me.

I want a job where people will offer me chicks to have sex with. Damn.

Oh Noes! Someone had sex!

/Didn't RTFA.

Worthless without pics?

/hole in one!

Herrera, a one-time rising political star who addressed the Democratic National Convention in 2000

Galardi claimed he paid $200,000 to Herrera from 1999 to 2003

A corrupt Dem? Oh my!!!!!

rawkus:

The book is called "The King of Torts" and the book is about a Public Defender who is involved in a case against Big Pharma and, if he pulls it off, he could become the new 'king of torts' (therefore, the title).

Grisham writes tons of legal fiction books: "The Pelican Brief" (great book, awful movie), "The Last Juror" (ditto), "Runaway Jury" (likewise), and "The Summons".

Read it, if you get a chance, it's a great book.

Man, is there anything the Bushes aren't involved in?

Telos it isn't about the sex (although that is a fun topic), it's the sex-as-bribery thing. You know the big rich evil guys are screwing the...wait, I mean rich and powerful greedy bastards are having their way with.. no, the bad guys are on top and...DANG!

Dario Herrera is a first-class scumbag around here, that's for sure. He's really the embodiment of everything that's wrong with our political system right now. Freakin' politicians who think they're better than all the rest of us.

OK, yeah, mainly I'm pissed I can't go behind the bushes with a stripper, but still. These guys are the same Student Council guys you hated in school, only now they have power. And money. And strippers.

There is no God.

Dario had a 100,000 dollar membership to Red rock country club on a 48k a year councilman's salary and they needed to give Galardi amnesty in order to file charges against him? How stupid is the FBI?

My favorite part of this case is the stripper that was told to give Dario oral sex when he came into the club one night, and afterwards she told Galrdi that she was concerned because he had a hospital ID bracelet on and thought he might have been sick. It turns out that his first child had been born earlier that day and the bracelet was to allow him into the maternity ward. So classy.

There is NO sex in the sandtrap.

That's classy! (spoken in a very nasal working New Jersey accent)

Two in the water hazard, one in the rough.

God Bless America.

I found this amusing:

"A fourth former commissioner, Erin Kenny, pleaded guilty and has testified for the prosecution... Galardi said he got sex at least six times from Kenny, which she denies."

I wonder if they were in the bushes on the other side of the fairway?

Grisham writes tons of legal fiction books: "The Pelican Brief" (great book, awful movie), "The Last Juror" (ditto), "Runaway Jury" (likewise), and "The Summons".


/sorry

Only two words of caution/admonition:

Poison Oak.

Girl_in_Vegas Thank you for the on-the-scene reporting. Kind of a presumption from your handle, but... BTW, nice pic in your bio. You really should put a counter on it to watch it spin.
