Kudos to Laura for graciously enduring the stench of Ol' Blue Crusty.

Sure, I believe this:

"I WANT to expose my child to everything. What she decides on her own is fine. However my daughter turns out - if she's gay, if she becomes a Republican, if she becomes a Republican lesbian - as long as she's a happy one, I don't care" - Alec Baldwin in Gotham (PageSix)

More childishness and low-class behavior from celebrities:

Does Bill Cosby believe that Condoleezza Rice has cooties? At yesterday's Capitol Hill ceremony honoring civil rights icon Dorothy Height, the comedian was supposed to be seated next to President Bush's national security adviser - whose role in the run-up to 9/11 and its aftermath has come under intense scrutiny and heavy fire. But according to Republican sources, shortly before the proceedings commenced in the Capitol Rotunda - where Bush presented the 92-year-old Height with the Congressional Gold Medal - Cosby's assistant informed an event organizer that Cosby would prefer to sit elsewhere. The request was accommodated, I'm told.

Yesterday, Cosby spokesman David Brokaw said: "I just got a hold of him 20 minutes ago and I put the question to him: Did he ask not to sit next to Dr. Rice? And his answer was: 'That's not true.' "

Brokaw, however, was unable to explain why the seating arrangement was changed. "One of Mr. Cosby's people went up to an organizer and said Mr. Cosby does not want to sit next to Miss Rice," a top GOP staffer told me. "I think people were kind of shocked by his show of partisanship at a bipartisan ceremony."

As for Cosby's denial, the staffer insisted: "Mr. Cosby didn't ask. It was an assistant." Rice's spokesman told me: "Dr. Rice has the highest respect for Dr. Cosby and his work." (Cosby has a doctorate in education.) source

Isn't his doctorate an honorary one?
