Default Max Mosley

This Max Mosley thing is getting deeper. It was, as you may remember, on Windtunnel Sunday, and get this, it was mentioned by Nathan Lane on "The Daily Show" last night.

Here's my question. I seem to remember a few years ago, reading a story about Max Mosley. In the story, they mentioned that Mr. Mosley's father was a **** Sympathizer prior to or maybe during WWII. Does anyone else remember that story, or am I way off base?

No, you are not. Far more than a "sympathizer", which should not be held against the son, of course. But, these latest claims do make one wonder.....

Google "Oswald Mosley".

Put it this way: Hitler & Goebbels attended the marriage of Max's parents.

Now I wonder why Dave DeSpain didn't mention the connection. I figure Jon Stewart has no idea who he is. The **** connection seems key to the charges against Mr. Mosley.

Did anyone hear Leno say that this shows how far the dollar has sunk, when Mosley can get 5 prostitues for what it cost Spitzer for 1.

In the 30/40's the majority of Europe were **** sympathizers, the mighty French, Italy, Belgium , Hungary etc ect all jumped on board. Fact not fiction. Even Lindbergh falls into that category.

The "****" aspect is the only reason that Mosley is getting some flak, if his roleplay would have been centered around the Gulag, the Khmer Rouge or scalping some redskins nobody would have given a rats ***.

The **** angle aside, the fact that the guy hired 5 prostitutes and engaged in sadomasochistic activities surely denotes a pretty severe character flaw!

The **** roleplaying really puts the whole thing over the top, considering young Max was a fascist supporter in the 50s and 60s when he tried to help revive his father's political career.

The longer he hangs around, the more embarrassing this gets for him... wasn't he always preaching against "actions that could bring F1 into disrepute"??

It gets better. It wasn't just his father. When Mumsie died, a diamond-encrusted swastiika was found among her possessions. Google: Diana Mitford.

Regards to all.
