Mark Steyn : What might have been : Barry Manilow can't smile without Elizabeth Hasselbeck

This incident makes me believe that Barry is part of Rosie Abominable’s gay posse.

[AprilfromTexas]

“You and me both. I told my better half if Charles Krauthammer was single, I’d be moving to D.C. and stalking the poor man.”

I have to agree. That’s why I’m a Dick Cheney girl (well, that among other things...)

[AprilfromTexas]

John Bolten does it for me too...now, there’s a real man.

Sure wish he was back in the UN

[Kenton]

What timing. I was just wondering, "what has-been entertainer is going to play the 'hate conservatives' card next in order to get to see his name in public again"?

[PinkDolphin]

Now Cheney, he’s a cutie. Find me a SINGLE man like that!

[Billthedrill]

Don't ask me why this came out of my keyboard all of a sudden. Dighton, a little light verse for you...

Barry's lost it, getting grey
Grecian Formula every day
Tummy buttons getting snug
On his head a plastic rug
Only talks to those who say
He's getting better by the day
Despite the jowls and puffy gut
And wrinkled brow and sagging butt
A Vegas warbler once he was
When all the ladies were abuzz
O'er leisure suits and disco dance
A summer sausage in his pants
A gold medallion twinkling there
Amidst abundant torso hair
Which now, alas, is getting grey
Down underneath that chest toupee
He's lost his fans, he's lost his licks
And now he enters politics
A place where angels fear to fly
Where old celebs now go to die
He tests the pool with trembling toe
And draws it back, afraid to go
Amidst the maelstrom's frightening whirl
He might get yelled at by a girl
Our manly man? Afraid he's not
He's just a pansy in a pot
He'll only deal from a stacked deck
He's terrified of Hasselbeck
And Rosie tells him what to think
Ann Coulter'd make his danglers shrink
And so he hides behind a tree
"Till everyone agrees with me."
Well, courage is as courage does
A has-been? No, a never-was.

I'll go away now...

Can we call him a douche bag?

[LexBaird]

Ummm, I don’t ‘boycott The View’...I have a job.

Barry? Is that you?

[Badeye]

Nope....I’m actually just a singer in a rock and roll band....a really, really bad one that only plays in my shower.

[LexBaird]

Give me a guy who whispers sweet nothings into my ear about science or history (non-revisionist) and I just melt.

Hey, baby ... did you ever think about how the 30 Years War spurred the rise of mercantilism in post renaissance Europe?

[LexBaird]

Nope....I’m actually just a singer in a rock and roll band....

Speaking of pretentious song lyrics, cue the Moody Blues.

[Badeye]

Indeed.

[Calvin Locke]

Heck, he killed a cop that asked for his autograph, then busted a cap in Chappelle’s knee.

[PinkDolphin]

Down boy, I meant in person. :D

[PinkDolphin]

But that’s pretty good, for 3000 miles away! LOL

[FDNYRHEROES]

Very fine. and brainy. Brainy men turn me on. Some women like this or that physical feature. Give me a guy who whispers sweet nothings into my ear about science or history (non-revisionist) and I just melt.

A little bit of revisionist history here...
Her name was Saca...Sacajawea...The hottest squaw on the frontier...

Sorry, couldn't help myself...

[LexBaird]

I wouldn’t risk it. In person, my charismatic grasp of history can damn near kill a woman. I get in more trouble with the cops that way...

[PinkDolphin]

[TChris]

LOL!

Mark Steyn is a genius.
