Adding insult to injury, an ex-girlfriend recently claimed that Gilmore bought her countless diamond rings in the early '90s with money from bank errors in his favor - and never paid the required $75.00 luxury...

Noting the generally derisive response to this plan, the New York Times got to quote Rush Limbaugh on the front page: "What kind of insult is this?" he asked. "Instead of buying us off and treating us like we're a bunch of whores, just solve the problem." But pretty much everyone admitted that none of the proposed solutions would go very far toward doing that. "All too often in the past, the American people...
