(At least he still has both kidneys – promoted by Colorado Pols)
The Pioneer Press in St. Paul reports,

He met her in the bar of the swank hotel and invited her to his room. Once there, the woman fixed the drinks and told him to get undressed.
And that, the delegate to the Republican National Convention told police, was the last thing he remembered.
When he awoke, the woman was gone, as was more than $120,000 in money, jewelry and other belongings.
The thief’s take stunned cops.
“It’s very, very, very rare,” Minneapolis Police Sgt. William Palmer said. “I can think of a couple of burglaries where we had that much stolen, but it’s the first time I’ve heard of this kind of deal.”
The haul included a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said.
The victim was identified as Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, 29, of Denver, a single attorney and a fixture in Colorado Republican politics. He was one of the state’s delegates to the convention this month in St. Paul.
Perhaps the thief read one of the interviews that Schwartz gave during the convention?
In an interview filmed the afternoon of Sept. 3 and posted on the Web site LinkTV.org, Schwartz was candid about how he envisioned change under a McCain presidency.
“Less taxes and more war,” he said, smiling. He said the U.S. should “bomb the hell” out of Iran because the country threatens Israel.
Asked by the interviewer how America would pay for a military confrontation with Iran, he said the U.S. should take the country’s resources.
“We should plant a flag. Take the oil, take the money,” he said. “We deserve reimbursement.”
A few hours after the interview, an unknown woman helped herself to Schwartz’s resources.
Classy guy. I’m guessing he doesn’t believe in karma but perhaps this will change his mind.
UPDATE: Now with video below the fold

As our theocratic friends in the GOP would say, God helps those who lep themselves. Or perhaps this was God’s revenge on someone preparing to fornicate.
Must be one of McCain’s ‘middle class’ voters.
prior to filing an insurance claim?
They’re in worse shape than I thought.
It’s the worst we have to offer, and you know it.
My thoughts on the guy are in the open thread. There should be no room for confusion.
the best of the Democrats? 😉
He wears $60,000 worth of bling, takes her to HIS room and then let’s HER fix the drinks?? I don’t want to blame the victim, but this guy must not have been much of a practiced player to make such novice mistakes.
that he thought she really wanted him. I remember this time in Romania…og wait, I’d better not go there.
….as to what the wrong sex partners can end up doing to you.
You know as well as I that the GOP doesn’t vote their delegates in.
They have the chamber-o-money like the used car dealerships use, and everyone gets a shot at it. Whoever comes out holding the most benjamins gets to go to the convention as a delegate.
It also explains why Schwartz had so much cash on him.
(and my apologies to Mel Brooks)
They had a couple of nut jobs featured on Pols several weeks ago who did not sound all that wealthy, including Kristie Burton, the mother of A-48 (no pun intended), and that wacko woman whose dream ticket consisted of Tom Tancredo and Jesus Christ.
Not all of their delegates have bank accounts like Bruce Benson and the Beer Baron.
is my Vice President
Lamborn, Bruce, Dobson, Owens, Coors…
Muhammad Ali Hasan
Remember the Westword article?
his ex-girlfriend and ex-campaign manager. Did she have to enter some type of witness protection program. She used to post on here, and then suddenly stopped.
if I recall, Hassan was trying to take back all the gifts he gave her. Classy guy. Mommy and daddy buy his girlfriend’s gifts and a House seat.
I have heard from Alison. She moved out of Eagle County, changed her name, and is in witness protection.
I’ve stumbled onto the Pols through a mention of it in the Vail Daily and I’m glad I have. So witty and thought provoking.
In witness protection-HA! Nice one Russell. I also happen to know that Alison is alive and well through cc’s of emails she has sent. Although I heard that she has been hiding from the Hasans and Eagle County idiots (I mean Republicans, sorry) because she is “expecting”. Any truth to that, do you know?
Alison, if you are out there. Set the record straight and give us your opinion. I know you read the Pols.
I don’t think she is expecting anything except Hasan’s overwhelming defeat
Why should we be surprised?
That’s because most people aren’t so stupid.
I just spit out my drink. Classic.
this is one of your best posts in the comedy department, and it is ‘non fiction’ to boot!
Is this an example of trickle down economics, or just “A fool and his [parent’s] money are soon parted.” – Thomas Tussser.
Bonus quote, “A fool and his money are soon elected.” – Will Rodgers.
on the way in to Invesco but that was about $300.
He was looking to laid and ended up getting screwed. Bummer dude.

Schwartz says the dollar figure of the theft quoted in the M/StP article is innacurate. He also says it was date rape.
Never mind. I see the quotes were included in the article linked at the top of the thread, which I didn’t read until AFTER I posted about the updates to the Denver Channel article.
I want to slap the shit out of this guy. I’m sorry, but he really deserves it.
They left that out of the news report.
What a meatball over home plate that was….
“Also, some media outlets, with no sense of humor, have linked a silly interview that I gave to a little-known Internet outlet. When joking around with its so-called reporters, I thought the interview was a satire and didn’t take it seriously. The interview is a farce and does not accurately express my political views. I endorse the platform of the Republican National Committee.”
He clearly shares McCain’s refined sense of humor: “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.”
…during the heist?
Man, you can’t make this stuff up. While Republicans cause me high levels of anger, they also supply me with lots of laughter.
Become a liberal. Your IQ goes up ten points instantly.
For this Republican delegate, getting his bling stolen – all of which he will undoubtedly get reimbursed through insurance – equates to a woman getting sexually assaulted?
Classy. The guy probably LOVES Sarah Palin too…
O.K., just an attorney like me, but still . . . clearly he is not the millionaire next door type.
I’m sorry, but the guy looks like a dick as much as he sounds like one. “Less taxes and more war!” Nyuk nyuk.
What a complete and utter moron.
HIs own ad is almost as embarrasing as his LinkTV interview.
http://www.sandslaw.us/commerc…
We should at least give him a free plug in light of all that he has suffered.
He is a personal injury lawyer who has made ads saying that you should take on the insurance companies and make them see red?
Oh boy, the insurance companies going to have some fun if he has submitted a fraudulent claim.
clearly she was interested in his with, charm, and general likability. The 120k in cash & bling was just a bonus.
is a delegate to the convention of the party of “Family Values” doing going back to a hotel room with a woman he just met?
Yet these bastards are going to sit in judgement of me and my family?
F*#@ing hypocrite.
Apparently getting naked while she’s putting some GHB in his cocktail.
just being a “Good Samaritan”….he likely thought she was homeless and was just trying to offer her a place to rest for the night.
So he offered to give her his own.
because he had no shoes, until he met a hooker who had no feet.
1. Don’t leave jewelry just lying around your hotel room if its worth over $ 1K
2. Don’t ever let Ann Coulter mix your drinks for you
3. Don’t get drunk and say what you really feel on TV
4. All the other delegates seemed to like war and debt too, AND
5. Rush Limbaugh rocks even more in person !
He tells the world that he’s a moron, a slime-bag, and can’t get laid for even 120K.
Why on earth is he telling people this?
Once again, it rears its head.;-)
Something about fools speaking and removing all doubt…
.
Do you mean to tell me this exact same thing NEVER happened to you ?
.
Admit it, your best Prada belt was on clearance for $999.99.
A girlfriend let me use her television because she didn’t have a need for it. Then said woman and myself fell apart, but she left the TV.
Months later, on Super Bowl Sunday, in the middle of the game, she shows up at my apartment asking for her tele back.
Now all of my possessions at the time didn’t equal one of this guy’s bar tabs, but I learned the lesson – the fastest way to lose something of value, is to lose it to the female persuasion…

You’d think this guy would know the Beastie Boys song of the same name, by heart:
I liked you.
Its people like Schwartz that give us jews a bad name. I can’t believe his stupid comments about war.
