Morning Docket: 06.29.09

Bernie Madoff Bernard Madoff.jpg* Bernie Madoff will be sentenced today. Mmm … revenge justice. [Daily News]

* There’s a “legacy of litigation” that will survive Michael Jackson. [National Law Journal]

* The Coup d’état in Honduras is the first Central American coup since the end of the Cold War. [New York Times]

* R.I.P., Billy Mays. [CNBC]

* Maria Belen Chapur (Mark Sanford’s girlfriend) says she’s pretty sure who hacked into her email account, but she can’t say. [CNN]

* Is it time for New York State to have a full blown constitutional convention? Maybe downstate New York should just secede from upstate New York. Then we can rename upstate “East Dakota” and everything will make sense. [Newsday]

Why does Elie hate upstate New York? He's certainly not making downstate any more sophisticated.

The mistress isn't even hot. The governor could have done better.

I'll bet that Tilda Spitzer and Jenny Sanford are dynamite in the sack.

Elie, so now you're geographically bias? What's wrong with you? You're the most insecure person on the planet.

Ellie, there are racists over at Freshfields. That doesn't make the morning docket?

Regarding secession and in light of other comments Mystal has made, I get the feeling Mystal isn't a big fan of white people.

Re: downstate New York seceding, aren't the jack*sses who are currently making your state look foolish primarily from downstate New York?

MysTTTal, you lazy sack of shit, I've got a story for you. A summer started shotgunning beers at 8:30 in the morning this weekend during a firm retreat. The kid got so plastered he yacked on the partner's yacht then passed out. When later asked if he felt better by another partner the kid said "it was the cold slaw not the crown.". Get on this!!!!!!

NOT the first coup'd'etat in Latin America since the end of the Cold War. The NY Times can't afford a Latin American desk that is actually informed about the region?

Also, Elie, there is no "downstate" cohesion you dream of. NYC residents make fun of the shithole that is long island on the regular.
