Fun With Play-Dough

Madams and Hookers and Pimps, oh my.

It seems Mr. Spitzer has handed the media a fantastic excuse for bringing the business of sex front and center. Finally, the American public has an almost Hollywood like backdrop for smut-talk. It is just like the movies, isn’t it? Pretty girls, down on their luck, the Johns that sleep with them, huge amounts of money changing hands; oh, the scandal, the horror! Except this time it’s not HBO, it’s real life, or a facsimile thereof.

Bring on Dr. Laura, our favorite homo-hating drama queen, spilling her condescending guts all over the television screen; Pah-Leeze. Of course she has all the answers; hearing her talk, for the first time in days I find some sympathy for Spitzer. However bad the choices he’s made, he doesn’t deserve this.  Could someone please dig in her past for a bit and find something that will shut her up for good?

What expert guests will be on tomorrow night to put in their two cents’ worth? I vote for Tony Soprano, and bring on Hugh Grant and a couple of strung-out crack addicts while you’re at it.  I bet they will be more informative and easier to watch than Dr. Laura.

Maybe the anchors can dress for the occasion; after all, it’s almost Purim. That means it’s high time for an entertaining Farce.

Look it up. 

French Foreign Minister Kouchner says the ‘magic is over’ for the United States.

I don’t find that statement insulting, just puzzling.  What magic is he talking about? The Iraq magic? Our economic magic? The moldy magic you can find growing on the walls of the FEMA trailers? Or the fairy tale magic that has ruled the White House for the past two terms?

But then, Kouchner also thinks it’s a really great idea to sit down for a nice discussion with Hamas.  Talk about losing the magic.

In other news, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is making the rounds on YouTube. I honestly don’t know how people can listen to him week after week. I particularly like his complaint that Hillary falls short as a candidate because “she wasn’t born a poor black boy in a country that’s ruled by rich white folks”. And what, dear Reverend, do you suggest she do about that? Kill herself and pray she reincarnates? Also, I don’t think comparing Obama to Jesus is necessarily such a brilliant move. Those of us that don’t like Jesus think of him as a divisive force; the ones that do like him won’t be happy to have him be compared to a politician.
