Call me unprincipled, but I'd rather just pester and shame him with scorn and contempt. Yeah, I know … but is clogging Russ Hamilton really worth three years in an Iraqi prison?

Would have been hysterical to see a cellphone video of Micon kicking his flip flops at Russ. I was more alluding to the journalist in Iraq who threw his shoe at Bush II.

I've seen Micon berate Sklansky at the table before simply by talking about him as if he wasn't there. I can imagine the same thing ... it's what I would do if I were at a table with Russ ... "So, what do you guys think about that Ultimate Bet thing? Have you heard about Russ Hamilton? I wonder what kinda karma he deserves ..." ***Did Micon take off his shoe and throw it at Russ?***
