Quote of The Day
A Taliban Treat
"I'm very fit. I still box. I don't smoke. I'd like to find a reporter who
can outdistance me. I have a 31-inch waist, a 42-inch chest. I'm still real
butch."
--Geraldo Rivera to the Philadelphia Inquirer
The Power of One: New York has a Republican mayor once again. All it
took
was fifty-million dollars and Rudy Giuliani. Remember when "the wife" was so
important to a pol. New Yorkers have
elected a mayor with an undisclosed
"steady girl friend" and we may be in for a surprise. Has anyone seen Jean
Harris lately? Tonya Harding? Miss July? Stay tuned.
Tough Tony to the Rescue: Kudos to Tony "My shirt can beat up your
shirt"
Blankley of the Washington Times
for articulating the effect of the bratty,
know-nothing behavior of the
media covering the Pentagon briefings. Don't these people know the world
is
watching?
While We Were Sleeping: Here is yet another story regarding the utterly
chaotic and borderline criminal behavior of the Immigration service that
has
put our very lives at peril. Maybe throwing these people out is a job for
Janet Reno. She had plenty of practice with little Elian.
Davis Ploy the Only Bomb: Better late than never, the FBI says that
Gov.
Gray Davis, former aide to Gov. Moonbeam, was living in some parallel
universe when he
issued a very expensive warning about the imminent bombing
of California bridges. It just wasn't so. Isn't there some kind of a law
against doing something like that?
Shark Repellent: Has anyone noticed that since 9-11 there hasn't been
a
single shark attack? Has anyone noticed that
Senator "Rolex" Toricelli seems to have skated? Does anyone think Lizzie
Grubman may have joined the Peace Corps? Has Clinton spent any quality time
in his really expensive offices in Harlem? and lastly, now that he's free to
travel why haven't we seen Mark Green on a banquette at the Four Seasons?
Love Note: Two Ldotters who traded quips on our Weekend Roundtable
earlier
this year, exchanged private E mail, finally met face to face and now inform
us that they are getting married. This makes us very happy and, no, Igor
will
not accompany them on their honeymoon no matter how pathetically he begs.
Your Pleased as Punch LComStaff
