The Guild 5-18-2003 God Bless Art Linkletter

Last week Art Linkletter was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys. I saw him accept the award and at 90 years old he's still as sharp as ever. He made me smile all the way through his speech (no transcript online yet) and at the end he said there were two groups of people he liked to interview the most, kids and old people. Kids, because they don't know what they're saying and old people because they don't care what they say.

You gotta love Art, a great American! Here's a link to an interview he did with Human Events Online.

I'm addicted to FNC. Except Pat Sajak and that new Noon Time Sally Jesse Raphael imitation. MSNBC is my alternate.

Are you a snob, take this quiz

It's an interesting study in human nature. The thread is better than the quiz.

I know that you aren't too much of a snob to take the quiz.

[Endeavor]

I tried to find the Quiz, but it just said "not available on this server."

I didn't read the thread - you mean people had an issue with taking the darned quiz? Then why the heck did they click on the thread?

[Iowa Granny]

they clicked on the thread to tell us what a bunch of dipwads we were to be taking the quiz.

One woman was particularly annoying. I just really wanted to tell her to take a hike.

[pubmom]

Then why did they click on the darn thread?

Obsessive-Compulsive disorder.

[pubmom]

I found it amusing they were being snobby about a quiz on being snobs.
Some folks must be a real joy to live with.

I could swear the toon is morphing into Teddy.

I met Mr. Linkletter at CPAC last November. What a wonderful man.

You're so lucky! Meeting Mr. Linkletter must of been a real treat.

He is a great American!

Bwahahahahahaha. That's eerie!

It's an interesting study in human nature. The thread is better than the quiz.

I got 65%. It was the attendant in the restrooms that got me...that and pronouncing foreign words correctly.

“So, if the election were held today, which candidate do you think would give the best concession speech to George W. Bush?…”

Good one! Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

And here we go again! These boneheads think this will work one more time.

JACKSON, Miss. - Former President Bill Clinton accused President Bush of spending more time fighting the war on terrorism than on domestic issues during a commencement speech at Tougaloo College.

"I supported the president when he asked for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (news - web sites), but we can't be forever strong abroad if we don't keep getting better at home," Clinton said Sunday to a crowd of about 8,000.

Clinton also criticized Bush's position on affirmative action and tax cuts just two days after the President formally kicked off his re-election campaign. full story

I loved your snob quiz. I was laughing at some of those comments too, by not taking the quiz, and/or questioning those of use who did, they revealed their snobbiness...

Queen Snob.

Which just proves being a snob is no indication of class.

[BigWaveBetty]

I just hope I'm dead or blind before a picture of bill in a bathing suit working on the (someone else's no doubt) boat is circulated.

[BigWaveBetty]

Then why the heck did they click on the thread?

They must point out that they are superior to all others since it's not readily apparent from their posts or personalities.

I found it amusing they were being snobby about a quiz on being snobs.
Some folks must be a real joy to live with.

That would explain why they spend all day, everyday on the computer.

Bleah. A Tougaloo College alumna attends commencement and gushes over x42 as a "home boy," story here. Haley Barbour, who's running for MS governor, declined to return Clinton's criticism of the president:

During his speech, Clinton criticized President George W. Bush's tax-cut plan. On Monday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Haley Barbour responded to Clinton's comment.

"Well, I am not going to critize President Clinton," Barbour said. "We're always glad when a former president gets here. Frankly, I'll be tickled when he comes back to campaign for Gov. Musgrove."

Barbour was speaking across the state Monday to promote his work force training reforms. source.

fwiw:

Never mind turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. The Post's Robin Givhan reports Laura Bush has ordered a crystal-encrusted, Faberge egg-inspired Judith Leiber evening bag (retail price: $4,175) as a gift for Russian first lady Ludmila Putin when the two meet this month during St. Petersburg's 300th-anniversary celebration. Leiber spokeswoman Lisa Wells said the minaudieres, as these little purses are called, typically come with a doll-size mirror and comb, which barely leaves room for a cell phone and lipstick. Wells said the egg-shaped purse, which Mrs. Bush chose instead of a tulip or a butterfly, is one of the company's archival styles developed before Leiber retired in 1998.

As for that humongous price tag, paid out of the State Department's protocol funds, we hear that Leiber gives "friends of the house" a 25 percent discount, while special friends like the first lady get a price cut of about 40 percent. WashPost

What a gastly photo of Teddy. Is that his lily white butt hanging out of those cut off jeans? That, paired with the well tanned beer belly hanging over the front,, (well it's probably not a beer belly, probably Bootles, or Tangurie),, makes for a real BARF ALERT.

Aside from his nose, Michael Jackson looked much like his old self in a vintage '70s glitter shirt and an Afro wig at a party in Miami on Saturday. If only his party companions were old enough to remember the '70s.

Some guests at the Forge restaurant were surprised to see how openly affectionate the 44-year-old musician was at one point toward several boys who appeared to be in their early teens.

Jackson "had his arm around them and was whispering to them," a spy tells us.

I didn't even notice that! One would hope that Teddy never goes commando!

My sincerest apologies for neglecting to post a BARF ALERT.
