Flashpoint for Dec. 14, 2005

Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2005 | 9:28 a.m.

Don't play poker with Billy Walters. The stuff he says with a straight face and that Kentucky drawl is so soothing, so innocuous. What a bluffer he must be. The same guy who contributes hundreds of thousands to local government politicians but once said he simply has been lucky in his land deals matched that howler Tuesday on KNPR's "State of Nevada." When host Dave Berns pressed him on whether he had juice, whether he was a "gamesman," Walters deadpanned: "I know where City Hall is located. I know where the Clark County Commission is located." I understand he also has keys to the executive washrooms, too -- not to mention the keys to the vaults. I'd fold my hand, too.
