I suppose they are giving all of the staff lie detector tests in case someone may have found it but won't turn it in. I wonder how much it was worth and what you could pawn it for.

[masshysterics1]

Easily explains the dissolution of all his previous marriages! A-R-R-R!

[Sparty1]

If I were his wife, I'd be drunker than he was. If I had to look at that old mug, I'd be three-sheets to the wind everyday.

Everyone knows pirates can"t hold their liquor.

[protagonia]

He IS a pirate. All neo con's are. They let us work for it and then they swoop in and steal it. It is the way of the pirate and the slaver. Hand in hand they have trampled freedoms for generations.

[VivaZapata]

he might seem unappealing on the outside, but inside he's a guy willing to lose money on The New York Post to maintain its level of excellence in journalism.

[SOOKOOYAH_GURL]

His wife is nasty to even lay down with that hideous looking person.. I love Olberman's mocking of Mudoch..

[AurigaRa]

this is news???

[ebanks84]

Yeah, accidentally on purpose I suppose!

[Wildcatdiva]

GD another BS report!

[Scarllatti]

Did Ruppert check with Elliot Spitzer? Might discover it with one of his "clients". Will make a GREAT story!! Hee Haaaaa.

[jinjinpinti]

Yeah. He should have been more careful when he slipped it off his finger to his pocket just before the call girl arrived.

[hey0there]

He hasn't lost anything. There's been several 'top stories' on the fox news website this year featuring cute stories about someone losing their wedding ring then finding it inside some fudge, etc

they have some contract with a jeweler association to plant stories about diamonds and report them as news, like this one.. just fulfilling their contractual obligations

[petsounds]

OMIGOD! Some woman actually sleeps with that dried-up old prune?

Huffpo is making me queasy this morning....

[Huffyfan]

LOL

[abouttime]

Why?
Hufpo wastes space for drival. What is going on in Iraq?

[WIpatriot]

1, They gots space to waste.
2. Drivel.
3. SSDD.

[CommonCents]

Total scumbag. Married this asian tool to gain inroads into China's cable network! When is enough enough? Never, because the star chamber wants worldwide info control.
And, I hope T Sno job rots in hell!!!!

[buckbuck11]

We can comment on this stupid bit of drivel, but heaven forbid we should be able to honestly and openly comment in any way to counter the revisionist history and hagiographic stream of blather to come concerning the dearly departed. We endured an entire week about Saint T im, and now we'll have to put up with at least a weekend of unchallenged tripe about Saint To ny.

Absolutely disgusting. Open the comments. The guy was a shill for the corporatists for the past 30 years. Of course, his passing does give new meaning to the expressing "spinning in his grave."

[Scarllatti]

Yeah, the Aussies could NEVER give this scumbag the type of "roaming" freedom America offered him. Heard he even gave up on his grand mom's grave in the Kangaroo country to become an American "citizen" which the Brits denied him. Saving my choicest wine for when this geek will check out of this planet. He is evil.

[vallon]

...at least Lee Atwater had a conscience towards the end...

[vallon]

yeah...he was a company man 'till the end, wasn't he?
