    How come Lynn Tilton’s trip to DC was not commented on by DB?
    Great double-chin pic of her, too. Missing the rose in the mouth from those old client photos.

    @6 I think Bessy should roll out Lynn’s goods again for a laugh.
    Recent news doesn’t mention starring on DB recently:

    THE MOST STUPID STORY OF THE DAY:
    The father knew the boy wasn’t on the helium powered balloon BUT why didn’t he contact authorities while the balloon “chase” was going on?
    I bet it was a set up!
    Remember the other day there was a news about a UFO
    sighting that looks like this helium balloon but no one came out to clarify it?

    wonder if anyone will give MC any $$$$, not sure i would given his past performance.
    most likely some already have committed which is why he is now talking up the venture. good luck to him.
