The Soul of Wit

Are we still talking about the Atlass Juggs/Mother Sheehan photo, or is that over with?

My take: funny, but not indicative of tremendous wit that will survive the ages. And not helpful in the long run. In Joel Surnow's era of truly stupid and mean-spirited conservative humor (not the imaginary kind we used to hear about), Pamela's middle finger is just another nail in the coffin. On the other hand, the photo is remarkable in that it captures two of the biggest attention...junkies...in the known universe. If Cindy Sheehan weren't physically grotesque, she'd have a swimsuit calendar, too. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she had tried to do one, only to be dissuaded by an ultimatum from her campaign staff.

I'm starting to be a fan of Cindy Sheehan, because people in San Francisco are so crazy, enough of them may vote for her to knock Pelosi out of office. Maybe Alan Keyes should run. This is an election he could conceivably win.

Look for these to to have their own sitcom in the spring of 2008. To steal Moxie's joke, how about Lindsay Lohan in My Two Moms?
