Mad Max Mosley Speaks, Finally

To hear him tell it, Max “Gotta Get My Groove On” Mosley isn’t going anywhere and blames the allegations about his sexual conduct on a ‘covert’ operation to discredit him.

(As if you need to go all James Bond and covert to do that - ed)

"“From information provided to me by an impeccable high-level source close to the UK police and security services, I understand that over the last two weeks or so, a covert investigation of my private life and background has been undertaken by a group specialising in such things, for reasons and clients as yet unknown. I have had similar but less well-sourced information from France. 

“Regrettably you are now familiar with the results of this covert investigation and I am very sorry if this has embarrassed you or the club. Not content with publicising highly personal and private activities, which are, to say the least, embarrassing, a British tabloid newspaper published the story with the claim that there was some sort of Nazi connotation to the matter. This is entirely false.

“It is against the law in most countries to publish details of a person’s private life without good reason. The publications by The News of the World are a wholly unwarranted invasion of my privacy and I intend to issue legal proceedings against the Newspaper in the UK and other jurisdictions.”

"

Forgive my ignorance, and keeping in mind I haven’t viewed the subject video, but there sure have been one helluva lot of news sources that gave that connotation, they all can’t be wrong. The video can’t be on par with Springtime for Hitler but it must be close. (wonder which hooker played the part of Eva?)

Noteworthy in Mosley’s statement is the ever popular (by those that perpetrate it) and crafty stratagem of issuing a non-denial denial. No where in his statement does he deny cavorting with five ladies of the evening (Damen des Abends?) only that some evil Brit tabloid outed him and he’s siccing a pack of legal beagles on them.

Interesting no?

But at least Mad Max is speaking - or coming out of the closet if you prefer. Regardless of his non-denial denial that adds more fuel to the flames, even a tabloid gets it right on occasion. Sooner or later some lady in East Timbuktu will give birth to an Alien Baby.

And someday someone will drive a stake through Mad Max’s heart.

In the meantime Max, enjoy, it’s Springtime for Hitler.

UPDATE: In one of the most intelligent statements issued by Bernie Ecclestone in at least two decades he’s warned off Max “Gotta Get My Groove On” Mosley from attending this weekends Bahrain Grand Prix: “He shouldn’t go, should he?,” Ecclestone told Tuesday’s edition of The Times. “The problem is he would take all the ink away from the race and put it on something which, honestly and truly, is nobody else’s business anyway.”

UPDATE II: Dusting off my feeble memory I recall something from the not too distant past, and sure enough, I found what I was looking for.

F1’s Hobbit-in-Charge Bernie Ecclestone once had this to say: “Everything has changed, hasn’t it? Racing has become one of the last well-behaved sports. There are not enough sex scandals.”

Guess Bernie wasn’t careful of what he wished for?

As a side note, can anyone testify as to the whereabouts of Ron Dennis during the filming of this Mad Max epic flic?
