The price was high; we are talking higher than a philandering long-legged rental for Eliot Spitzer. For as much as 250 large – that’s $250,000 for those of you not familiar with organized crime talk – you could meet with President Obama’s officials, various congressmen and/or those “powerful few” who increasingly plan our lives, at the bordello – make that home of Washington Post publisher madame Katharine Weymouth.

As with so many of the big boys, it seems the laws are for the little people, not themselves.
