This guy is the 9th highest paid athlete in the world -- he made $35 million in 2009. Why would Valentino Rossi even waste time on real estate fire sales?

@1: You're joking, right? It's textual sarcasm, and I don't get it, right? Because sometimes expression is lost in the written word, and I'm hoping this is one of those times.

Just in case it's not, here's a bit of clarification.

Dino Rossi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Rossi

Valentino Rossi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentino_R…

Goldman-Sachs has contributed to lots of candidates - both Rep and Dem - and I'm willing to bet they'll be contributing to Rossi's campaign momentarily when they hear he likes to screw over people and their money too....
