The Hollinger Gang 

The Hollinger Gang

I must admit, I found this funny. The main focus is on Richard Perle, and whether (as part of Hollinger purging itself of allegedly corrupt executives and board members) he will face further law suits, and perhaps criminal charges. But there is kind of a passing shot against David Radler, who has plea bargained, and may have already blabbed in great detail about Perle and others. Via Atrios.

Radler... is a notorious germaphobe and hypochrondiac, according to an ex-colleague.


During his years traversing the country as an executive for Black's Hollinger International, he refused to stay in any hotel other than the Four Seasons. A source related the tale of when, years ago, company execs were on a road show meeting with prospective investors in a Four Seasons-less Cincinnati.


When meetings wrapped up, Radler insisted the group fly back to Chicago and then return to Cincinnati for more meetings the next day — rather than stay in a non-Four Seasons.


[blockquote]On the company's Challenger jet, Radler stocked pantries with antibiotics and cleaning supplies. And when he arrived in Toronto during the SARS scare, Radler de-planed wearing a surgical mask. "It was a flying pharmacy," said a source. "He'd better be working in the prison laundry."
