Video: Smooth criminals
posted at 1:59 pm on March 15, 2008 by Allahpundit
It was either this or a round-up on Kristen!, America’s new girlfriend. I went with the more substantive story.
Although I can’t resist one nugget from the Post:
Experts estimate that Dupre will bring in between $2.5 million and $5 million from companies looking to promote the hooker who brought down the governor.
Dupre would have to service Spitzer 581 to 1,162 times at her going rate of $4,300 for four hours to earn the same amount of money.
Weekend blogging. Ain’t nothing like it.

It’s stories like this that makes HotAir the only source I turn to for hard news.

Does anybody really believe that a hoo – er, call girl, actually keeps the money the client forks over?
corona on March 15, 2008 at 2:05 PM
No one’s forcing you to read, pardner.
Allahpundit on March 15, 2008 at 2:05 PM
Oorf! Oorf! Oorf! Oorf!
Shy Guy on March 15, 2008 at 2:07 PM
Okay..that was cute as heck. Kudos to the training and the execution.
tickleddragon on March 15, 2008 at 2:07 PM
That was pretty cool.
SouthernGent on March 15, 2008 at 2:08 PM
Hmm, at least with the Filipino prisoners we get the entire routine….
meep on March 15, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Don’t know if you’re being sarcastic…but for me, it is stuff like this that make the hard news bearable sometimes. We need palate cleansers sometimes.
Thanks, Allah, for this one! Good catch.
tickleddragon on March 15, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Chill. That was sarcasm. This is by far my most-visited site on the web, walruses dancing to Michael Jackson and all.
Purple Fury on March 15, 2008 at 2:16 PM
Very cute Allah. Thank you Sir.
GoodBoy on March 15, 2008 at 2:17 PM
I’m not sure those service numbers are correct, but I don’t know whether they should be higher or lower. Anyone know whether the Emperor’s Club take was more than the IRS’ will be?
BTW, will Kristen keep any of that Son of Sam money?
Dusty on March 15, 2008 at 2:20 PM
Dancing walruses and rich hookers…AP’s dream post.
malan89 on March 15, 2008 at 2:20 PM
Darn near busted a gut laughing so hard. Goot one!
Zorro on March 15, 2008 at 2:22 PM
that sucks! the dang sealion can dance better then me. the trainer looks cute, whats up?
custer on March 15, 2008 at 2:31 PM
Nice little break from work on a Saturday afternoon. That walrus has better dance moves than Obama.
txsurveyor on March 15, 2008 at 2:31 PM
Yes, but can the sea-cow do thriller.
lorien1973 on March 15, 2008 at 2:31 PM
That sea lion was showing incredible intelligence… the blonde too.
Hog Wild on March 15, 2008 at 2:34 PM
walrus = sea lion = sea cow. Can’t tell the difference. What do you expect from a guy who’s never seen the ocean?
txsurveyor on March 15, 2008 at 2:36 PM
.
This little guy certainly can
artlover on March 15, 2008 at 2:38 PM
That was Alien Ant Farm’s “Smooth Criminal”
Kowboy on March 15, 2008 at 2:41 PM
That was Michael Jackson’s version.
tlynch001 on March 15, 2008 at 2:49 PM
Much better than Obama and his minister, or Kristen and her Governor. Thanks
AlanC on March 15, 2008 at 2:54 PM
Yeah, God forbid people relax a bit on Saturday.
freevillage on March 15, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Tom Wolfe couldn’t have scripted a better bonfire than what we’ve witnessed here.
JeffB. on March 15, 2008 at 3:01 PM
Sweet.
Vizzini on March 15, 2008 at 3:03 PM
HAHA.
Thanks Allahpundit. Good family friendly palate cleanser. How did they train him to do that?
Theworldisnotenough on March 15, 2008 at 3:16 PM
I want one.
EJDolbow on March 15, 2008 at 3:16 PM
PETA complains in 5… 4… 3…
artlover on March 15, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Thought it sounded odd. Guessed the audio was bad. Wasn’t aware that the ultimate weirdo had done a version of the song.
Kowboy on March 15, 2008 at 3:32 PM
And to show you how much I appreciate it I’ve started clicking on the ads.
jaime on March 15, 2008 at 3:40 PM
My GOD I laughed out loud. Although being Russian, I’m surprised the young lady didn’t teach it to belly-dance.
q2600 on March 15, 2008 at 3:40 PM
There was singing?
gbear on March 15, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Love it!
THIS SEA LION dancing is a bit more appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day…
JetBoy on March 15, 2008 at 3:56 PM
JetBoy, thanks for sharing that. Clyde & Co. is always my favorite at Sea World, SD, including the mime, ahead of the show.
Entelechy on March 15, 2008 at 4:01 PM
How many hours blogging will it take to match it?
laelaps on March 15, 2008 at 4:07 PM
there is a joke there…
I’m not going to be the one to say it though :)
DaveC on March 15, 2008 at 4:11 PM
You’re showing your age, Kowboy. ;) Jacko did the original. The other guys ripped it off.
MikeZero on March 15, 2008 at 4:28 PM
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen on Hot Air.
Alex K on March 15, 2008 at 4:59 PM
You’re showing your age, Kowboy. ;) Jacko did the original. The other guys ripped it off.
MikeZero on March 15, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Kowboy on March 15, 2008 at 5:04 PM
Survival of the cutest
Entelechy on March 15, 2008 at 5:05 PM
OK someone has to say it….I’ll just get the LOLcat thing out of the way
For that dance the lolrus’ outta get a bukkit?
anne on March 15, 2008 at 5:20 PM
I dunno. I still like the dancing cockatoo. Close call.
RedWinged Blackbird on March 15, 2008 at 5:29 PM
The sea-lion had much better moves then the cockatoo :)
F15Mech on March 15, 2008 at 5:35 PM
That trainer is going to work in the Clinton Administration, watch out guys, Hillary instructed her on what she wants done.
StuLongIsland on March 15, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Let me correct myself. If there is a Clinton Administraton, hopefully it won’t happen.
StuLongIsland on March 15, 2008 at 6:09 PM
That was actually pretty darn cool.
Roebuck on March 15, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Here is the MJ video
Roughly 1 min 10 sec in…It syncs up…
That trainer is good.
F15Mech on March 15, 2008 at 6:27 PM
Thank you AP, that was a very nice and very needed change of pace!
Vntnrse on March 15, 2008 at 7:06 PM
Large seafaring animals dancing for crowds.
Yup, definitely more entertaining/newsworthy that anything that happened this week.
Yes, I am still laughing at formerly high and mighty Spitzer, but this was actually amusing amusing to watch, on train-wreck-getting-his-comeuppance amusing to watch.
BKennedy on March 15, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Threads mixing dancing animals with the governor’s hooker…pffft — what’s next? Beastiality on the campaign trail?
Michael Jackson has finally gone too far. It was bad enough when the plastic surgeons turned him into a skinny white woman, but letting them turn him into a walrus is just… just…
My collie says:
ABSOLUTELY! I just KNEW this sorta’ thing was going to happen after those PETA people took their clothes off.
CyberCipher on March 15, 2008 at 7:30 PM
What do you mean “or”? That wasn’t Kristen in exclusive video of her with a client??
Man, I feel robbed…
Captain Scarlet on March 15, 2008 at 8:35 PM
goo goo guchoo gu goo goo guchoo!
jgapinoy on March 15, 2008 at 9:26 PM
(Beatles/Jackson link)
jgapinoy on March 15, 2008 at 9:27 PM
See, J-School majors:
Math is important. It helps you determine important things, like pimping.
If only you could use it in a sob story on someone with a $500,000 mortgage and a $9.00 an hour job.
thirtypundit on March 15, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Reminds me of when WEBN played the Aerosmith’s version of “Come Together”. After it was over he made a statement that a few years later The Beatles made a cover of it. Then he went to commertial break. When he came back he was all “It was a joke people! Stop calling!”
- The Cat
P.S. I still wanna know what would happen if you trained a bunch of chimps with sign language and kung-fu and released them into the wild.
MirCat on March 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
That was hilarious!
This is one I thought was pretty cool…

P.P.S. I just got that this whole post is about Kristen. She is The Smooth Criminal.
MirCat on March 15, 2008 at 10:07 PM
LOL Same thought occurred to me when the history of the song is not known.
F15Mech on March 15, 2008 at 10:10 PM
that ROCKS!
and i bet that sealion has more talent is one flipper than kristen has in her…. ummmm… never mind.
this is a family-oriented blog, right?
homesickamerican on March 15, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Just goea to show that animals are as smart as people; nicer too.
docdave on March 15, 2008 at 11:19 PM
I must confess, I’m a sucker for cute animals…..and yes, that was quite cute.
WayWard Fundamentalist Christian on March 16, 2008 at 3:36 AM
9.4, 9.6, 9.5…….
Thanks, after so much Rev Wright, that was nice.
jackmac on March 16, 2008 at 7:18 AM
Only Hot Air can correlate the Spitzer scandal with the training of a Walrus.
Turn over Spitzer, on your back Spitzer, applaud if you love me Spitzer, now that we’re done take a bath.
MSGTAS on March 16, 2008 at 10:09 AM
How depressing. Now a walrus that dances better than I can.
oakpack on March 16, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Where’s PETA when you need them. That was pure torture for this mammal.
Zorg on March 16, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Wow, dance moves and the largest male appendage in mammaldom. Walruses have it ALL!
