In continuing our theme of senseless attacks on Ben Bentzin, we thought we'd point you to InThePinkTexas and the suit filed agains Ben and Joanie by their nanny. We got a copy of the suit filed in Travis County District Court. It's dated March 15, 2005: 1:35 p.m.
So, not paying your nanny is old news in politics. Ever since it sank, who was it? Oh well, nobody important now. But here are some of the good parts in the suit.
"Defendants take between five and seven weeks of vacation each year." (Suh-weet man...I'll marry Ben Bentzin, Douchebag for 7 weeks of vacations every year. I wanna go to the South of France...can we Ben? Can we?
Count Two: Defamation. Love this one. Since the nanny was out looking for another job Joanie (alledgedly) told prospective employers that the nanny she employed for three years was a deadbeat. So, if you keep a deadbeat in your employ for three years which party is more more of a deadbeat? The party of the first part or...Ben Bentzin.
Count Three: Boring..
Count Four: Intention Infliction of Emotional Distress. This is the one where Joan demanded the pregnant nanny power wash the home and clean their boat. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That was all we had to say on that one.
Count Five: Conspiracy Among the Defendants. Dum-dum-dum!
HD48 is turning out to be our favorite contest. Only because we wish there was a douchebag like Ben running in every district.
If you 've got some great stories about your distric races, email them to us so we can share them with everyone.
Remember kids, Illegal immigrants are best for domestic employees because they can't really file a suit against you when you don't pay them.
Family Values 101
According to documents in the lawsuit, here are the work hours for the nanny (not including the over time that wasn't paid).
Monday: 10am-4pm
Tuesday: 3pm-9pm
Wednesday: 11am-9pm
Thursday: 9am-9pm
Friday: 5pm-11pm
Not seeing your kids at all on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Seeing them for about half an hour on the other weekdays! Bentzin family values!!
So who's the daddy?
This bastard wanted his NANNY to powerwash their 10,000 square foot house, and clean his boat, WHILE PREGNANT!
Argh!!!!
Put that bitch to work. She's lucky to have a job!
This guy would fit in perfectly with the thugs at the state capitol these days.
Damn, Wonk. I never thought I would see you jealous of domestic help!
Now I really believe those rumors of Bentzin's child disciplining closet.
Ah, but does this rise to the same level of scandal as a live boy or dead girl?
I doubt it.
I mean, who among us doesn't someday want a nanny we can abuse? I'm voting my dreams, baby, dreams.
