With the economy tanking, consumer prices falling by the largest amount in 50 years, the Fed cutting rates to unheard of levels (apparently unaware of the complete failure of supply side economics over the last year), and Madoff adding to gloom and doom, I thought something more entertaining may be in order.
Dick Cavett recently got an earful for his amusing piece, "The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla" where he explores gems such as: "My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars." It's stuff you can't make up.
His latest piece on Gov. Blagojevich is equally amusing, as he ponders, "The question overhanging this sordid mess, you might agree, is, “How did such a specimen ever get elected?”
It’s as if a soldier, tested for his fitness as potential combat leader, passed his physical despite scurvy, pyorrhea, Jake leg, leprosy, the quinsy, contagious influenza and at least two trick knees."
It's just what I was wondering.
And, if you missed it, President Bush provided his contribution with the famous shoe ducking incident, which just about summarises his presidency.
