See this picture? Who is this man? For those of you too young to remember, this is MILTON BERLE, whoappeared almost every week in drag in his #1 television show in the 1950's!

Get that? The 1950's! In prime time on network television!!! And it was the MOST popular show!

What I am saying is that the American people do not get upset by men appearing in drag for a charity fundraiser. So knock off spamming about that because not only do we not care, neither does the American public!!

Disclaimer: I am not backing anyone yet, but am totally turned off by this over-the-top anti-Rudy stuff. Of course, next week it will be anti-Mitt, if they see him creeping up in the polls.

Rudy can go to the office in a pink tutu everyday of the work week for all I care. His attire is way down on the shopping list for me. The ex-mayor is just to liberal and immoral for my vote.

Good post, Miss Marple.

I don't have a candidate either, but I sure hate SPAM. It's only posted by petty, hateful people, to fuel hate and discontent.

Thank you Miss Marple!

What those not old enough to remember, or too biased to admit, is that Milton Berle, whose show on NBC was so popular, that restaurants and movie theatres were almost empty, one night a week, from the late 1940s through the '50s, when "Uncle Milty" was on. One also has to take into consideration, that few people owned T.V.s at the start of of this. SO how did so many people watch this show? Some went to someone's house that had a T.V. and others stood outside, in front of local stores that sold T.V.s watched, but NEVER got to hear the sound. THAT'S HOW BIG HE WAS!

BTW, "Uncle Milty" is credited with being responsible for selling more T.V., than any other reason people gave for buying one and none of his commercials were for T.V.s; his main and only sponsor, for many years, was TEXACO !
