In response to a post on Waldo Jaquith’s blog, Waldo brought up the Portfolio Magazine article’s alleged belief that Halsey Minor was interested in running for governor.
Halsey made this comment in response to Waldo’s post:
Well, you can breath a sigh of relief since I am not running for governor. This article is from a tabloid.
Notice how many people’s names are attached to quotes. The only named person, my friend Ted Waitt, they claimed no longer likes me. They never even interviewed him and they used a 5 year old publicity photo! Its seriously laughable.
My favorite quote from some unnamed board member is that I am “psycho”. Maybe that’s how I built one of 2 NASDAQ 100 internet companies from scratch during all the madness and maintained a stable management team. Oh and I spun out 2 other multibillion companies including Vignette, the fastest growing software company in history. Now that’s psycho!!
These are just stupid words in an article without a reason for being. And I’ll just stand by my accomplishments. Lets see if Portfolio makes it 10 years and gets bought for $2 billion by CBS. Something tells me I don’t have to worry about a follow up story in 5 years.
So there you go Waldo. Next time mention I have a hotel I am building in Charlottesville thats opening next summer. Thats real information.
First drink’s on me.
I have a question for Halsey. Out of jealousy for Waldo’s free drink, if we put up a big post about the hotel and how awesome it is, will you buy all the cVillain’s their first drink at the hotel!? You did say you would make us feel rich and famous.
/does anyone else think this guy rocks?

i’ll have a bud light!
All this shows is that Halsey Minor Googles his own name daily to see if anything is being said about him. In which case, call me Halsey! You’re hot.
my other comment was going to be about taking bets on how long we have before the pink panther starts to cozy up to the billionaire.
D’oh!
@2, who does he think he is, John Mayer? GEEZ.
@2 - let’s cross fingers he googles this and gives us free drinks
Guy needs a haircut (might be a good use for some of his 10-bazillion-dollar internet profits—and perhaps removal of that large unsightly mole on his chin–unless that’s a dripping of caviare from his luncheon-meeting with JP Morgan).
He has shifty-creepy eyes and fat-cheeks. Also notice that, like James Bond bad-guy Ernst Stavro Blofeld, he has no earlobes. What is Pink Panther going to nibble on during moments of gold-digging fake-passion?
Also, Pink, you might want to glance at NASDAQ before you earn your kneepads—appears that ‘my top-2 companies’ may have tanked a bit. Parlie may be paying for his own bud-lite this time around.
Though he denies being psycho, then un-denies being psycho, he certainly has mastered VANITY.
@6
sorry Thor—i didn’t see before i posted that you too were checking into kneepads. You might want to delete my last comment before the shaggy-BJ comes up with this thread in his daily self-google.
ok, every cVillain except for otter gets free drinks?
yeah otter, what’s up with all the criticism of jowls and growths? first ewan, now the guy who’s going to be the sugar daddy of my next dirty martini. methinks you’re working for charlottesville derm’s viral marketing campaign.
@9
Fair enuf.
I don’t drink appletinis anyhow, which suggested by the haircut would be on offer.
Oh is this dude RICH? I just heard he had a HUGE DICK. But rich too? Bonus.
I’m so getting free drinks.
@10 - thats a great viral campaign!
oh hey you, you are ugly
/cville derm will fix it ! !!!!!
@10
hell, Baby—this guy is just creepy, but i had no idea the other picture was of EWAN, whom i adore and admire. Ever seen the episode of Craig Ferguson with Ewan as primary guest? May be the jolliest and funniest bit of teevee i have evuh seen. It’s on YOUTUBE:

@12
i hear his place on Fire Island is simply too faboo for words.
THIS is what governors do. They don’t start brilliant companies.
“… /does anyone else think this guy rocks? … ”
apparently not.
he responded to another thread…

@18
you know, i JUST saw that.
he has a winning sense of humor, a good bit of charm, and a willingness to play on a gossip-blog/site/clearinghouse. And a decent hotel $500.00-a-night hotel on the Mall will be a nice alternative to those crippling late-nite cab-fares.
he’s winning me over, no question, but i still think we should keep an eye on his NASDAQ listing for a while longer before we let dear Pink Panther earn her kneepads.
What do I need kneepads for?
are we playing volleyball? OH GOODY!
i forgot the fancy new hotel will probably have three-inch deep plushy carpets.
@20: So you don’t get holes in your jeans.
@23
thank you echo—i didn’t have the nerve to explain that.
Guys. GUYS! There isn’t going to be any blowjob action on the rich dude at a hotel. I wouldn’t wear jeans anyway. I was simply trying to get HALSEY MINOR’s attention. Gawd, can’t a girl say HUGE DICK without being accused of being a cocksucker? Excuse my french. NSFW.
@25
i doubt ‘there won’t be any’, though i laud your decision not to be the executor of it.
Cville is still vulgarly gold-digging and knee-padded, keen on suckup-ery (cf CC/JG/SS),
and if this guy hasn’t made himself a prime target for it then my ass chews bubblegum.
i hope my petulant commentary hasn’t deterred THE FLIRTRESSES from mailing out a nice thick glossy Informational Packet to the Right Hon. Halsey, HRG.
Perhaps with some industry and good old-fashioned elbow-grease (knee-?) they could ‘negotiate’ to set up a ’service’ desk in the lobby of the new hotel, to better pursue their business aims.
nobody touching this one, heh-heh.
i’ll just cross my arms and wait for backup planet and BBT.
Has anyone heard from The Spicy Twosome? I am so concerned… they both set off up Halsey’s rear end early this morning but their safety line snapped at 10.32am. A request for 2 Baja Chicken regular wheat sub combo meals from Quiznos and 6 replacement AA batteries for their flashlights was received via text but they have not been heard from since. Kyle’s phone is going straight to voicemail, and apparently Franscesco didn’t pay his bill so his has been disconnected. Should we send out a search party? Any volunteers to come with me up Halsey Minor’s rectum? They may have contracted an advanced case of Brown Nose Virus but until we find them, we won’t know just how bad it is.
/HM….mine’s a Montrachet if you’re asking
i like his sense of humor and i dig hotels…but i wish this one had balconies.
/totally touching it, otter!
@29
BLESS YOU FLOOZY.
The AA’s were not for flashlights, by the way.
@25 - OMG - are you shen, cause you sure seem to be…
So glad to have you back, you ho, you
@28 - you know you gotta wait a long, long time for the BP
Tiptoeing down the stairs don’t happen when people are actually awake, don’t you remember your santa stories?
All cvillians (with appropriate proof) get a free drink. Otterdung the only thing i have for you is the suggestion you seek help. Every time you blog i feel like it’s raining wherever you are.
appropriate proof? we need a code word. or we could all just tattoo your name on our bodies.
@36 - that could come in really handy during the next “drought-like” conditions. Hey, otter, maybe you could hire yourself out to some of our drier farming areas
appropriate proof? we need a code word
I propose a code phrase: “I’m here to hork the spacebag.”
LOLOL - choke!
@36
Bad attitude!
Now is that any way to stroke your constituents? Lucky you’re not running for Miss Congeniality.
/happy to pony up for a haircut for you though, and no hard feelings.
