Full Throttle

Unless you’ve been riding on the Starship Enterprise for the last week or so and have missed Formula One’s Story of the Century, FIA president (lower case intentional) Max Mosley has found himself in a spot of trouble.

Enough trouble that every major motoring association on the face of the planet has cast the old sot adrift in one fashion or another.

And it has to be said he hasn’t aided his own defense by the tone of some of the letters and public utterance’s he’s issued the past few days. Hell, Max has been spewing enough hot air on the matter the AAAA thought he was a paid-up member and sent him a notice of suspension.

Frankly, the Half-Vast Staff™ of Full Throttle has started to feel sorry for the old git. We may have been a bit hard on Max, and admit we’ve taken to calling him Max “The Littlest Perv” Mosley, and deservedly so, but we still have a bit of sympathy for him.

In that light, and given his absolute reticence to step aside for the good of the sport, our sympathy takes the form of a fund drive.

The Half-Vast Staff™ of Full Throttle recognizes he hasn’t a hair on his ass (if he did he’d step down) and funds collected will fund enrollment at Bosley’s to correct his lack of “follicular fortitude.”

If you should decide to donate drop me a line and you can rest assured any monies submitted will go to this worthy cause.

Honest!

SAGA UPDATE: A British High Court has ruled against The Littlest Perv in his attempt to have the video (Max’s Greatest Hits?) removed from the News of the World’s website.

The Judge hearing the case is reported as saying: “I have, with some reluctance, come to the conclusion that although this material is intrusive and demeaning, and despite the fact that there is no legitimate public interest in its further publication, the granting of an order against this respondent at the present juncture would merely be a futile gesture.

The dam has effectively burst.”

And so has The Littlest Perv’s head, not to mention his barrister’s.

Just further reason to open your hearts and wallets and give to the “Follicular Fortitude Fund Drive.” Give ’til it hurts and Max has a hair on his ass!

SAGA UPDATE II: The Littlest Perv - FIA “divorce hearing” is scheduled for June 3 in Paris. At least the location is convenient. He can jet straight from the hearing a free man, well, as free as gags and bondage balls allow, and skip lightly over to Bois-de-Boulogne and continue his depraved debauchery.

SAGA UPDATE III: Max “The Littlest Perv” Mosley intends to donate any damages from his legal pursuit of the British newspaper News of the World to the FIA Foundation.

SAGA UPDATE IIII: Well, I feel better now. I’m not the only one that sees the lighter side of this issue. The AP caught up with Juan “Don’t Call Me Pablo” Montoya to get his reaction:

“Of course I saw the video! I loved that. I did. I did,” the Columbian told The Associated Press when asked about the clip.

“It is a laughing matter! You know, when I first heard about it, it was shocking. “But then he decided to play it like nothing has happened and it’s just so hilarious.”

So that means what Juan, you’d be willing to cough up some of that Mad Chedder Ganassi is paying ya in support of the “Follicular Fortitude Fund Drive?”

Hell, for a C Note I’d make you the spokesmodel for the campaign!
