Re # 59: When the Reverend Al Sharpton was asked whether he wanted the steak or the chicken, he replied “Where’s my pie at, fool?!”

I'm trusting your judgment, my friend.

[STARWISE]

Anyone seen Glenn Beck yet ? His Monday
show should be hilarious. (But he
absolutely cracks me up every day.)

[Dinah Lord]

After seeing Jennifer Loven of AP at tonight’s shindig I have to ask: ‘Doesn’t she have a mirror at home?’

[STARWISE]

Wouldn’t ya know, Prison TV (MSNBC, whose
weekend evening schedule is always about
crime, pedophiles, criminals and prisons) is

carrying this LIVE! LOL.

[Dinah Lord]

No mention of Roxane Saberi, Laura Ling or Euna Lee yet.

[pbear8]

I am already bored with his speech

[STARWISE]

TOTUS has arrived.

He had to make fun of it ...
he’s been so idiotic and
robotic about it.

[Dinah Lord]

Listen to these damn media hyenas yukking it up.

I don’t think I have enough liquor in the house tonight for this.

[CaptRon]
