    Very strange article critcizing Eric Holder for Black Friday

    http://townhall.com/columnists/katie...ys_strip_poker

    Katie Kieffer is a conservative columnist.

    She thinks she knows what she's talking about with this issue, but she is actually clueless, as you will see as you read the article.

    The funny thing is that conservatives could easily get behind online poker from the free market, anti-nanny-state standpoint, but criticizing the DOJ for going after Bitar is just moronic. Bitar, Ferguson, and Lederer were thieves, and they deserve everything they get.

    Town Hall is the conservative version of The Nation where they demonize the other side with hyperbolic rhetoric. Reading anything from that magazine is sure to leave you thinking "these people have no idea what they are talking about". Shit, Focus on the Family does more fact-checking than Town Hall.

    Druff, did you read the newest article about ray bitar? It said “The indictment alleges how Bitar bluffed his player-customers and fixed the game against them as part of an international Ponzi scheme that left players empty-handed.”

    What do you think they meant by "fixed the game" I smell something fishy

    I wouldn't read too much into that, Preet Bharara likes to mix in poker metaphors when he talks about Black Friday (hence "Bluff" and "Fixed the game")

    Hey Danny,

    Did you lose your panties as a "proffesional" players to one of these websites?

    Show me a self-professed proffesional poker player, and I'll show you a self-deluded idiot.

    Gamblers in general are idiots, but I don't believe in regulating idiocy.
