So what did Ballmer bid for the Clippers?

Two Billion Dollars? The only thing that could make this any crazier is if Donald Sterling said no (Sterling's wife, however, no surprise is for it).

Ballmer has always been a bit whack-a-doo.

It apparently pays to be a old nasty racist.
Wombat notes Ballmer "won" the bidding war...
Instapundit withdraws his speculation that Donald Sterling was suffering from dementia...
Could Donald Sterling dodge taxes on this claiming it is a forced sale?

Update: 

More from Lem's Place…
Sterling's law suit threat (hmmm doesn't seem so crazy given the outcome)
Did Ballmer over pay?
