Have you heard that the woman who allegedly had the love child of Democratic politician John Edwards was something of a literary in-joke among a certain class of decadent writers? The woman whose real name is Rielle Hunter was fictionalized as the over-sexed Alison Poole in a novel by Jay McInerney. Later she showed up in two of Bret Eason Ellis's novels, Glamorama and American Psycho. Gawker has the clip from American Psycho discussing Poole/Hunter. And, after the jump, you can check out the latest reworking of American Psycho, this one staring a toddler.

My asperger prevents me from readign between the lines.
Does this mean she's a nut who shouldn't be believed, or that John has poor taste in women?

2- Because Alison Poole will blow you if you have a platinum amex. And only guys in finance carry those.

what does this have to do with the price of tea in china? JC, you're getting as bad as ARS. what's next for you, a cameo on CNBC to explain this sorry tale in rumour-mongering?

Ham,
Use firefox, install the ad blocker and then reprogram it (just clicks, no code) to auto block any of the ad structure used here.
You can get your dealbreaker to load with out any of the flash visible or ads.
In fact, after about 5 minutes of using it, you can rip out the banner area also, and get the site down to a very clean and lean look, with out any visible ads or flash distractions...
Why view ads? Its your browser... you can control what you want to view. It takes 5 minutes and some "right" clicking once its installed.

@9-- free content on the internet will cease to exist if everyone does that, you freeloader.

@ 10, Its not free if you have to view multi paid placed ads... The Internet has not been free since the late 90's at best.
Its your browser, you can decide what is and is not loaded on the screen...
If you never click on the ad, and never purchase the product, why should you have to stare at the distracting crap.
The ads are still served, the DB staff still gets "paid", and the page has more landscape for things like Bess or Juan's words verses compressed down into some words in between a crap load of eye spam...
@ 11, wondered if you could or not... my last tour in a cube city, it was like that. There are ways, but its not worth the effort...

dude, Newt Gingrich tried to get one of his wives to sign divorce papers while she was recovering from cancer surgery in the hospital. "Sorry about the chemo and the nausea, but can you sign here so I can be done with you?"
And then he divorces that one to marry the aide he was banging?
$hitbirds are in every party.
