Linda Bollea: Like Mother, Like Son?

She denies ever saying how much she loved street racing. But Linda Bollea was indeed caught gushing on tape: “Oh, I love it. I love it. The Rush, the speed on the road, stereoblasting, heartpounding, racing in between all the cards, dodging the cops. It’s awesome.”
Baby Hulk Mama’s comments can also be found quoted in the negligence lawsuit filed by the family of John Graziano, the ex-Marine paralayzed when Nick Bollea crashed his souped-up Toyota Supra into a palm tree on August 26, 2007.
According to the lawsuit Graziano lawsuit filed in Pinellas County Circuit Court, not only did Nick hear Mom say it, but Linda had “observed her son driving…in a reckless and negligible manner,” and both she and Hulk Hogan “knew or should have known” the Supra, modified to crank over 500 horses, was “an exceedingly dangerous instrument” (sic) given her son’s “proclivity to drive recklessly and in excess of the speed limit upon the public roadways.”
Is Graziano’s attorney George Tragos, a veteran federal prosecutor-turned personal injury expert, saying Linda and Hulk enabled Nick?
Not only that, but the lawsuit claims they “knew, or should have known” his pal, Daniel Jacobs, who was seen speeding between lights in Linda’s silver Dodge Viper that night, with Nick in the next lane, had a “propensity of racing on the public roadways.”
The lawsuit says Hulk Daddy, as owner of the cars, is liable for causing the tragic accident “by negligently entrusting” Nick with dangerous cars, especially with his history of “lack of judgment and careless manner of driving,”
For Hulk’s part, he’s denied any responsibility, claiming he’s disciplined Nick before, and that Nick’s mother actually took the keys away twice after Nick got caught speeding near Miami.

Dear Art,
I’d rather read your words and not those from ‘your Staff,’ LOL.
Take it anyway you want to, but Just remember…

Yup, that’s pretty much the same tape I had seen on TMZ several months back. She’s caught!!! Humm, maybe all that bleach has gone to her brain and it’s made her suffer some memory loss?

I think I feel the compassion of silence here.

What about “Like Father, Like Son?”
…and even “Like Father, Like Daughter?”
How, ’bout “Like Parents, Like Children?”
It takes 2 to tango.
