Everyone’s up in arms today and the lot of you think your lives, and the world, are over. Well let me give you a little perspective. There’s an old lady on the Upper East Side with actual problems. Her name is Ruth and all she wanted to do last night was put on her hat and grab a hunk of Jarlsberg and a bottle of wine, kick back and think about how different her life could’ve been if she’d married Benjamin Lipshitz. She was also thinking about doing some laundry for the first time, though that plan was foiled, thank god.
Ruth Madoff, looking like a desperate housewife, went grocery shopping last night, just hours after her swindler husband, Bernard, learned he would have to stay in jail, at least for now.
She left the Upper East Side penthouse she’s struggling to hold onto at about 8:30 p.m. and walked to a Food Emporium.
Photographers spotted Ruth, whose nearly $93 million in assets have come under government scrutiny, dropping American and Jarlsberg cheese into her cart. She was carrying a shopping list, with detergent the top item. But she stormed out after seeing the shutterbugs.
“Oh, this is crazy, forget this!” she fumed. “Oh, very exciting, I went to the grocery store.”

holy shit, sweet tag
what happened to horse-face family?
awesome tag. ya gotta feel for the old broad.
best tag ever
hysterical post – love it!
Fucking classic! Best tag ever for sure! And no I don’t feel for this broad. If and when she is begging for change with a cup I’d take the cup and spit in her eye! Tron is living for the citaaay!!!!
It’s better this way ruthie, all that cheese wouldve given you bad gas.
Did she have a coupon?
I know everyone is thinking it, so I’ll just say it: Total MILF
Rumor has it that Ruth had a 45% return last year in her personal e-trade account.
She looks like a rat.
Why is there a voice in my head that starts reading every one these posts with meanwhile back at the model home. . .
somewhere there has to be a psych student using these people as a case study for a thesis sociopaths.
she is out shopping and acts indignant about the attention? hey bitch! you stole hundreds of millions!
she is lucky that some kook doesn’t jack her with a sock full of nickels.
This demonstrates still another benefit of using Fresh Direct. I suspect though that Ruth, like my grandmother, may not be good with a computer.
serious GILF
Man worth $100 Mil and he has a dog wife
Consistent with Banker peers
There is a photographer permanently parked at China Fun on 64th Street. His job is to follow the China Fun delivery men to see if they are delivering to the Madoff residence. If so he pays the delivery man and goes up himself. The problem is he can’t fit his Nikon D700 in a large Egg Fu Yung container. I shit you not!
What a moron. Yeah, lemme just sneak out and go to the store. Word of advice – move to Guam.
17 The only way that would work is if China Fun had only one delivery man. I hate Chinese food, so I don’t know for sure, but I would doubt it.
couldn’t she have gone skiing instead?
Bess, never go away please, unless its to have my babies.
She’s more of a MILK.
Mom I Like to Kill.
She’s more of a MILK.
Mom I’d Like to Kill.
Ruth, Venezuela looks good. You can make a decent living showing Chavez’s followers the perils of capitalism.
I WOULD RATHER BE IN JAIL THEN HOUSE ARREST WITH THAT UGLY BITCHHHHH
@12 Kudos. Not too many AD references these days.
The $64,000 question is, “Will they be able to nail you.?” Just how smart are you?
She came an awful long way for the g/d cheese since she is a homesteading resident of Florida these days…..
China Fun smells like boiled cat whenever I walk by.
@12 – WIN
Ruthie will be remarried before the 2010 fesitcal of lights.
Festical of lights? Is that some sort of hanukah for my balls?
But is it Lipshitz continuous?
Why was she schlepping over to 3rd ave? Boutique stores on madison were built for jerks like her. Ya Ruthie, now you see what the little people have to deal with over on 3rd? What a jerk.
she won’t be in that neighborhood for long.
34 Geography lesson: she lives corner of 64/Lex, which is hardly a schlep to the Food-E at 63/Third.
28 A reference I guess to the fact that for a Florida resident a primary residence is not subject to bankruptcy claims?
I agree with her. That IS crazy. So she went grocery shopping. Big friggin’ deal!
@19 That’s weird. I love Chinese food. Although I do hate the Chinese.
That ho is hideous. Madoff sucks.
@33 Too geeky, had to wiki.
36 – Reality lesson. UES snobs avoid walking east of Park as they have everything they need on Madison…why deal with the 3rd – York Brother Jimmy’s crowd? That was the point. Relax.
seriously, nobody has robbed her yet?
Cute tag, but you need a valid credit card to use Fresh Direct. Ruthie’s options ain’t what they used to be.
Detergent….is she just going to “wash that man right out of my hair?”
Detergent….is she just going to “wash that man right out of my hair?”
Well obviously she needs to go out and buy cheese. she hasnt been able to suck Bernie’s dick lately. she misses the cheese.
last man standing- you’re a weird, creepy dude.
@45/46- detergent is used to wash clothes. idiot.
Bess please try to introduce Ruthie to Eliot S. Perfect couple.
