Sechs scandal   [Mark Steyn]

Oh, come on, Jonah. If you're going to bring up Brit sex scandals, you could at least eschew the bland Yank rewrite and link to the Fleet Street original:

The son of infamous British wartime fascist leader Oswald Mosley is filmed romping with five hookers at a depraved NAZI-STYLE orgy in a torture dungeon. Mosley— a friend to F1 big names like Bernie Ecclestone and Lewis Hamilton— barks ORDERS in GERMAN as he lashes girls wearing mock DEATH CAMP uniforms and enjoys being whipped until he BLEEDS...

At one point the wrinkled 67-year-old—who publicly likes to give the impression he has put his father's evil legacy behind him—yells "she needs more of ze punishment!" while brandishing a LEATHER STRAP over a brunette's naked bottom.

Then the lashes rain down as Mosley counts them out in German: "Eins! Zwei! Drei! Vier! Fünf! Sechs!.."

Last month the urbane president of the FIA—Formula One's governing body—hit the headlines when he announced a crackdown on racism in the sport after McLaren ace Lewis Hamilton was abused by Spanish spectators.

But on Friday the only ‘crackdowns' married Mosley was interested in were on bare buttocks...

The 6ft 2in former barrister once helped his father try to restart his political career in the Sixties with a new fascist Union Movement party. He was even a prospective parliamentary candidate himself.

But the party that got his vote on Friday was one involving violent perversion in a rigged-up basement torture dungeon.

Say what you like but this week's Governor of New York has got his work cut out topping that.

PS I don't see why the Formula One Grand Prix types are so upset: Surely it's perfectly normal  to pull in for a new set of weals.

PPS I met Max Mosley at a party many years ago. Can't recall how the evening ended, but, if it had been on a table being flayed by an SS dominatrix, I'm sure I'd remember.
