Scoop’s Views

The attorney for former high-priced Washington, D.C.-based call girl, “Kristen”, seems to have forgotten something he may have learned in law school. Perhaps he didn’t learn it, which is why he’s flapping his gums so much, basically trying to intimidate newspapers and TV news stations.

It seems this attorney, Don D. Buchwald, is trying to say the media has “thrust” — interesting choice of words, especially given his client’s employment history — into the “public glare without her consent.”

Have you ever seen someone so badly in need of sex that you tell them to go get laid — even if they have to hump a tree like a dog in heat? Well, that’s how the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is acting right now. Either that or RIAA has been constipated for about 18 years. Either way, RIAA is becoming more sickening every time I see its name in print.

I browsed the Evoca.com site a little before coming across a member using the moniker, aka Monty, who had a recording called, “The Daily Bitch,” which made me stop in my tracks. The first thought that came to my mind was: “My ex-wife has finally learned to use her computer?” Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s not something very nice to say, but it’s the truth. Besides, she told me in an email that she is not just a bitch, rather she told me she is the Queen Bitch. Who can argue with that?
