David Spade needs money? Isn't he on a CBS show with Puddy from Seinfeld? Commercials with dead people are the creepiest.

He doesn't, that was just Gawker's snarky spin on Spade's statement. Spade himself said nothing about money.

totally tacky and inexcusable.

Kerik is a scumbag and deserves to be put away for a long time.

looks like i won't be decorating my house for halloween.
