Huffington Hilarity
Comedy-sniffer and Reason mag Associate Editor Matt Welch found some very funny stuff on Ariannaís blog:
One of the few things I don't love about being on the campaign trail is getting the same questions again and again and again. Especially the one about my so-called ìpolitical transformation.îShouldn't there be a statute of limitation on questions about this? I mean, when I was a Republican, Saddam Hussein was our ally, George Bush owned a mediocre baseball team, Enron was a respected energy company and Michael Jackson was still black.
Well, we all have our vices. For some, it's booze. For others it's group sex. For me, it was Newt Gingrich.
Group sex and Newt in the same breath? Eeeeeuw!
I could get really nasty about talking about "group sex" and Newt's THREE marriages, and fact that he did present his terms for a divorce from his first wife, Jackie, while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery, to say nothing of the fact that she had to take him to court - twice - because he wouldn't pay his child support, and that their church had to take up a collection for Jackie and girls to get by.
Or I could just point out that due to his obesity, any sex with Newt would have to be "group sex."
But since I gave up my meowing allotment for six weeks back when I posted all that horrible stuff about celebrities without makeup, I guess I just won't say anything.

Since I can't make any nasty comments for a while, I'll just have to say that Arianna's comments were hilarious. She might have secured my vote with this blog entry were I a California resident. "Michael Jackson was still black?" Hilarious.

Actually, perhaps you didn't see the small print, but there's a two bitchy comments-a-day minimum here -- as in, you must post two bitchy comments, minimum. I think it was Alice Roosevelt-Longworth who said it: "If you have nothing nice to say, come sit next to me." Ditto.
