Doug's a weird creep.

Yikes. At what point do remarks like that constitute a threatened assault?

It's October 27, and the embargo has lifted on Mark Towhey's book. Here's a taste of what's behind the asterisks:

It's Doug's usual mangling of phrases that really makes this one, I think. I mean how do you actually wrap teeth around something?

J/C. Poor kids! I heard at one point the family cut them off financially and so they did some things to make money on the side, but I never heard about what he's implying.

I wonder if that coincided with the period Towhey described where Ford stopped paying staff in cash for things at the office.

Probably. I heard that's one of the things cops were looking into--the things he was doing to make money on the side when he got cut off financially.

It sounds like that one's Rob--Provost says "Mayor". He's an even bigger buffoon than imagined.

You're right, Jimmi. My mistake!

Well, he is definitely cut out to be the PM. He'd be lucky if he didn't start a war with Kuwait with gaffes like that.

KD would write an awesome Ford book! He has stuff on Rob and Renata, Doug, Price, and Sandro that others don't.

I'm guessing KD has info on Rob's history with escorts... surprised that wasn't mentioned in Towhey's book.

Yep, he's talked to a few who claim to "know" him.. Not sure why he never wrote about it. Maybe there's a high standard of proof in order to publish something like that?

I just wanted to add my congratulations to Eva for her excellent detective work over the past couple of pages. But, y'know, if all this information is just there for the taking, why haven't any reporters looked into it? Surely, this has the makings of a juicy newspaper story, wouldn't y'all say?

As for the latest book excerpts: Dofo really is an incredibly nasty fucking creep, and Slob...there aren't any words. He's a God damn cretin.
