Shock and Awe and a Dirty Sanchez to go please


'Highly Respected and Widely Recognized Expert' in apparently both Defense related issues and prostitutes, Harlan 'I like it rough' Ullman is going to fight against allegations from the DC Madam because he is about as bright about legal strategies as he is about combat strategies.

Apparently, the knucklehead who invented Shock and Awe is going to testify that he did have sex with those women. Ms Palfrey responded:

When informed of Ullman's new stance, Palfrey told ABC News the former Rumsfeld colleague could be prosecuted along with her.

"If Mr. Ullman committed illegal acts, he can be charged with racketeering as well, since he would be a part of the overall conspiracy the government is alleging," Palfrey said. "It takes two to tango."


Currently a columnist at The Washington Times 'Highly Respected and Widely Recognized Expert' Ullman is going to admit to having sex so he can beat the rap. Clearly a brillant legal technique, or something. And I suppose he doesnt mind people mentioning his performance problems either.

Palfrey says, "and there were some complaints about him." She said some of the women refused to service him a second time "because he was an unpleasant person."


Come to think of it, Shock and Awe was more of a pop and whimper too. Poor Harlan. This doesnt sound like its going to be a Happy Ending for Harlan.
