Yup! Sounds like something Tony t3rd would say so I think this is genuine.
This is precisely how stories grow legs, spurred on by seemingly reasonable conclusions. Sorry, but because a "quote" appears to be the sort of thing the man would say borders on lame.
Look, if it ain't minimally verifiable through official publication, audio recording or at least others being present to confirm what was said, these sorts of speculations have no merit (apart from the request for verification).
As it stands, this whole thread oozes desperate, if not sensationalist, third-party information that even a crooked judge would throw out of court. "A friend of a friend told me so-and-so said...." Please! Credit us with some active brain cells.
