Less taxes + more war - $120k jewelry = instant karma
From our imaginary BFFs at Wonkette comes the great Republican jackass karma payback of the day story.
Meet Gabriel Schwartz, "a single attorney and a fixture in Colorado Republican politics," according to the Pioneer Press, who was a delegate from Colorado at the RNC. If you looked up douchebag in the dictionary, you mind find an entry that goes a little something like this...
Within hours of this interview filmed, Schwartz met a woman and took her back to his hotel room. What happened next? Ahh, I'm gonna just quote Wonkette here. There's no way I can do the story better justice.
Anyway: A wonderful lady picked him up at a bar, and she went to his hotel room, and she slipped him a mickey. When he woke up, his entire ridiculous jewel-encrusted ultra-tacky wardrobe was stolen — “$120,000 in money, jewelry and other belongings,” according to the Pioneer Press. Ha, it costs $120,000 to look like that? Who knew!
It was the night of Sarah Palin’s big dumb speech at the RNC. This guy, Gabriel Schwartz — “a single attorney and a fixture in Colorado Republican politics,” according to the Pioneer Press — was staying in Minneapolis at the fancy Hotel Ivy. He reportedly took this girl back to his $319-per-night room and she told him to get undressed while she made the drinks. This is a wonderful scene from some James M. Cain book, but rather than wearing a salesman’s suit, the mark is dressed like some castout from the Village People or the Stray Cats or god knows what.
“Victim reported suspect made victim drinks, told him to get undressed, which is the last thing he remembers,” a police narrative said. “Upon waking, victim discovered money, jewelry gone; total loss over $120K.”
A police report notes the crime occurred between 4:22 and 5:46 a.m., and Palmer said investigators believe Schwartz had been drugged, although he declined to discuss details.
Aside from the watch, ring, necklace, earrings and belt, Schwartz also reported a $1,000 purse or wallet, a $1,500 cell phone, $500 in cash and a couple of rings worth $50 had been taken.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. We salute you, wonderful girl thief of Minneapolis. You are America’s Real Hero. Everything about you is a delicious testament to the American Dream … the American Dream of duping a vulgarian lawyer.
Instant karma's gonna get you, indeed!
What kind of man wears $120k worth of accessories, people? Could it be... an elitist one?
Did they do a drug test? How do we not know that he's SUCH a douchebag that he's not trying to commit insurance fraud and get more bling? And please tell me the lady took *all* of his clothes so that he woke up naked and had to greet security in a towel.
Yea - the fact that this happened in the hotel means that he def wasn't in Colorado (he could be walking amongst us in any one of our non-CO cities - eep!) - while our fine lady probably was from CO.
Oh - and I just noticed his jacket. Do you think stole that dorky thing too? Notice he isn't wearing an American Flag on his collar... I hope he doesn't have the nerve to call himself patriotic on top of everything else.

Just to clarify a few points:
1) 99.9 percent of people (or more) in Colorado don't dress anything like that douchebag.
2) Only about 10 percent of people in Colorado are this stupid.
3) I'm going to bet the woman in question was a prostitute.

@Matt -- Oh, this was in no way meant to belittle the folks in Colorado. There are idiotic douchebags in every city.
