Flashpoint for Nov. 6, 2005
Sunday, Nov. 6, 2005 | 1:38 a.m.
What happens in Oscar Goodman's brain rarely stays in Oscar Goodman's brain. Ideas flow unfettered from his gray matter to his tongue, which apparently has no taste. His latest -- that thugs who deface public buildings should be de-thumbed on TV -- has garnered Las Vegas the kind of national attention only Goodman can bring. I'4m sure his comments will help him with those who love him. I think His Honor ought to combine his love for corporal punishment with his affection for Bombay Sapphire to make this humane: Give the kids some gin to dull the pain of the de-thumbing. And I wonder what punishment the ex-mob lawyer would think is appropriate for mob thugs?
