Aubrey McClendon Needs Cash

Manny Faces

Aubrey McClendon of the Great Sonics Heist of ‘08 needs some money badly.  The Wall Street Journal reports the once-billionaire is selling his 9,000 bottle wine collection at auction.

Sotheby’s says it expects the sale to fetch at least $5 million–not much for a former billionaire, but these days every little million helps.

Even the Wall Street Journal is throwing jabs against that dickhole.  Ouch.  The comments at the end of the article are the real gem.  Here are a few highlights:

The sympathetic millionaire:

If Aubrey is selling his collection I would like to buy a bottle and return it to him. Anyone who has had the opportunity to share a bottle of wine over dinner with Aubrey, as I have, knows that he truely enjoyed sharing his wine with others. I also know Aubrey is a true gentlemen and would never relish in the downfall of another person as so many seem to be doing here.

The tasteful critic:

He may be a nice guy but the Swift Boats ads from the 2004 presidential campaign were anything but gentlemanly.

And, my personal favorite, the bitter asshole:

Too bad for the Okie, hope he goes broke and him and his lover ClayClay are forced to live in a box and drink their oil to get hammered.

Screw you Aubrey you geek with a poof’s name. Hope you and CLay get cancer of the rectum and die slow painful deaths in the poorhouse while the Supes are returned to Seattle where they belong.
