Flowers adds: "I don't need to hurt Hillary. She is doing a fine job of that herself, along with her idiot husband. Karma is an interesting thing.

• Not-so high bidder: We knew it would come to this. Veronica Hearst sold her Palm Beach mansion at a foreclosure auction on Monday. Villa Venezia, once listed for $27 million, went for just $22 million.

• Silent justice: Unlike his chatty-Cathy colleagues, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas hasn't asked a question in court in more than two years. "One thing I've demonstrated often in 16 years is you can do this job without asking a single question."

• Tough times: Compounding its recent disasters ($20 billion in mortgage-related write-downs, the forced exit of its chief exec, falling share prices), banking giant Citigroup discloses the loss of more than $100 million on 15 separate days last year.
