The Real Threat
By now you all know that the unemployed media poster-child Helen Thomas made the asinine statement that she’d kill herself if Vice President Dick Cheney runs for President in 2008 (yet there’s no anti-conservative bias in the media). However, blogger Steven Taylor suggests another tact, more likely to ensure the desired outcome:
If Helen is trying to dissuade Cheney, wouldn̢۪t the more efficacious threat be that she would appear nude if Cheney ran for President?
Eww.
Leo:
Actually, she’s not half bad…
Oh sorry, my mistake. I thought you meant Helen Hunt. For some reason I keep thinking her last name is Thomas. I also keep thinking Helen Thomas’ name is Helen Hunt.
I do know who Helena Bonham Carter is, though. Wouldn’t mind seeing her pop out of a cake, drunk as a lord, either.
Helen Thomas is Liberal…In other news the sky is blue and things fall down.
Actually, she’s a Marxist. And I don’t mean a Trotskyite. Sort of in the same vein as Ed Asner. Speaking of “ewww,” now there’s somebody I’d pay to stay inside the cake.
When these relatively recognizable individuals make these over the top statements, I kind of get the impression they are truly unaware how irrelevant they have become.
I had an upstairs neighbor who was a dead ringer for Helena Bonham Carter. Unfortunately she was married, to a biker (and not the “Trek” kind, either).
Sigh…
