Anyone else see La Curry's latest faux pas?
Discussing the new book that asserts how Lincoln had gay liaisons, Miss Anne said "up next, a provocatie new book says former President BILL CLINTON might've been gay..." She didn't even hear herself say it, until Katie and a particularly amused Al Roker backed her up. Curry is somewhat famous for her malapropisms -- and especially her long-winded non-questions ("When you were in Washington, you had a reputation for tackling difficult issues; then you went into the private sector, and many people are wondering--are you the same man you were in Washington, or have you changed, or are you perhaps a combination of both men, and both jobs, and as a result, what lessons have you learned from both types of experiences...") Today was a fascinating moment of her auto-pilot.
And not entirely off-topic: Did no one at TODAY fail to see how much fun it would've been to put the Queer Eye guys on AFTER the discussion of a gay Abe Lincoln? I mean, pu-leeze, wouldn't Caron's comments on Lincoln's facial hair and mole been worth it??

Well, you know what they say about a man with a fondness for cigars.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Unless it's a penis.
When I was 12 I went to the Today show at an ungodly hour of the morning. Ann Curry came outside and was waving hello to everybody in the crowd. She walked over to me, leaned in, and said:
"Go for your dreams, kiddo, because when I was your age, I dreamed of doing what I do now. It seemed impossible, but here I am. And if I can do it, you can too. Just believe in yourself."
Lovely woman, that Ann Curry.
I really like Ann Curry, but don't tune in whenever Lester Holt is filling in for Matt. For some reason, I just don't care for him.
was that before or after she fondled you, apersand? oops...this isn't a pm is it...uh nevermind, nothing to see here, move along, step lively now.
papa, as much as i disliked the first sentence and title of that last post, the papa spirit in the end of the statement made me smile.

Bill Clinton, Abraham Lincoln. Yeah the names sound pretty similar to me.
But you know, maybe Monica Lewinsky was whispering into Ann's earpiece.
it's all part of the dichotomy of humanity, apersand.

A few years ago a writer in New York Magazine said that Bill Clinton "...in addition to being out first 'Black' president, was also our first 'gay' president--a sensative mama's boy with a perpetual h*** o*."
Apt, thought I.
Hey, why not?
Some of the folks at nifty seem to think so :)
I happen to enjoy her. Though I think she's better on the prompter.
papa, i blame schizophrenia.
nah, apersand, it's all just one me. scary, innit?
sondheim might say, "scary and exciting"
sondheim knows enough to run when he sees me.
sondheim isn't the only one
I'm sorry, but can we get back to the matter at hands?
