Another thing about Johnny Edwards filling in for Effin this week because of the latter's cold - did the Pony not have anything else to do? He has been the invisible boy during this campaign, especially in the past month. Maybe there is something to the speculation that Johnny's been kept under a rock by Effin's handlers so he won't outshine his cadaverous running mate.

AS if Dan Rather didn't have enough problems, a new off-Broadway play is dredging up one of the strangest episodes in the CBS anchor's life. Playwright Paul Allman's dark comedy "Kenneth — What Is the Frequency?" is based on the 1986 mystery in which two well-dressed men beat Rather up outside his Upper East Side home while repeating that phrase. (The bizarre beat-down inspired R.E.M.'s song, "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?") Fresh from a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the play debuts here Oct. 21 at 78th Street Theatre Lab. (PageSix)

Who is stranger, Cybill or Marlon:

AFTER he died last July, Marlon Brando's ashes were mixed together with those of his long-rumored lover Wally Cox and scat tered in Death Valley. Apparently Brando had kept Cox's ashes around since the star of the "Mr. Peepers" TV show, who was once his roommate, died in 1973. That wasn't Brando's only bizarre rela tionship. He was a frequent guest at Michael Jackson's Never land ranch. "The last time my father left his house to go any where, [it] was with Michael," Brando's son Miko told the Los Angeles Times.

Some people will do anything for democracy. "F- the Vote," a liberal group devoted to unseating Bush, plans to encourage swing-state conservatives to support the Democratic Party by pledging to sleep with them if they'll switch their vote from Bush to Kerry. Votergasm.com is also trying to get out the vote. The site recommends bribing nonvoters with election-night sex to make sure they vote in November. ...

Brace yourself for Eminem's next video. The clip for "Just Lose It" - the first single off his Bush-bashing CD "Encore" - features Slim Shady buck naked. It also features one Paris Hilton. We don't know what she's wearing, or not wearing. We did hear the hotel heiress showed up to the shoot with a bottle of Skyy vodka, some of which she seemed to have already consumed. ...

Rolling Stone must be losing readership. What to do? Aha! A Bush-bashing article!

Just what kind of guy was President Bush during his character-defining early adulthood? An aimless, inconsiderate, womanizing drunkard - if you believe Rolling Stone's article detailing how the 26-year-old Bush allegedly used his family connections to evade National Guard duties, was lazy and unreliable at his civilian job and boasted to colleagues about the benefits of being the grandson of a powerful United States senator. rest of story

In my opinion the silky pony has been invisible because (to use a Naomi Wolfe term) he "sucks" on the campaign trail! Up in the middle of the night from an allergy attack I caught a rally Edwards did recently on Cspan. He is AWFUL. Using a southern twang he droned on and on, the audience wasn't impressed. But what really stuck out like a sore thumb was his effeminate gestures. We think Kerry looks gay? Edwards is much worse.

I don't know how or why the MSM hasn't picked this up but the silky pony has a new big boy hair cut.
