6. Ironic statement du jour: Chimpy "loves a secret"
So said John Wang on MSNBC in response to a question about why Chimpy had Gonzo resign.

Yeah, they love secrets, all right. That's kind of the problem. :eyes:

10. It will be interesting to see where Gonzo pops up again...
Maybe he can do ads for Alzheimer medicine.

Maybe I'll do a fake ad later...

9. All these guys do the same thing ...
They wait until the scandal dies down some, and then sprint out the door so they can say that they were not chased out.
