    So the whore’s horse slept with Edwards, which led to the election of Obama, which will lead to the endtimes? Believe it or not, sounds possible.

    This explains much, but I still do not understand why John Edwards - a good-lookin’ sack of man by any measure - would cheat on his cancer-wife with a woman who very much resembles a show horse herself.

    I’m channelling Carson McCullers here. Haven’t done that for ages.

    John Edwards arranged the murder of Eight Belles.

    What a minute….Rielle was “riding her noble steed” and not the other way around? I thought the Slick Pony was a top man, not a bottom. Wow.

    I say, Rielle for president! John Edwards for stable boy!

    So, distraught over the murder of Equus, Druck/Hunter [not the video game of yore] gave up horses and sought out a man hung like one?

    It ain’t no Catherine The Great, but times have changed.

    The Incomparable Tiny Valdez: Hey Tiny…. been meaning to tell you for some time now how cool your Fats Domino-French-box-set avatar is.

    Mission accomplished.

    Has Wonkette tried a thing where if you click on a link it brings up a new tab? Just sayin’.

    Really, our media can dig this up but can’t figure out that the Bush administration is lying to them?

    “O lente, lente currite noctis equi!” (Slowly, run slowly, O horses of the night!”)–Ovid.

    shortsshortsshorts: Hold down your control key (or shift key) when you click the link.

    Gregory_of_Nazianzus: The Bush administration only lied about war. The John and Rielle think is important.

    Before you hire a hit man for your show horse, you have to get a very bad diagnosis from a medical horse guy.
    “This horse has (navicular, spine problems, etc.) so, it is not worth the price you paid for the horse, but you can get the price per pound to feed the
    lions at the zoo.”

    Then you zap them for the insurance. If there is nothing wrong with them you can sell them to someone else as a show horse.

    At least thats the way it usually works. He dad might have been a sadist.

    Law & Order totally did this episode, like, nine years ago. EPIC FAIL, WHORE.

    What’s with you Americans and murdering horses? First you kill our Phar Lap, now this…

    Note to self: Never trust Americans with horses.

  16. sanantonerose says at 11:18 pm, August 13th, 2008

    My kingdom for a man on a horse.

  17. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:54 pm, August 13th, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): I AM ENLIGHTENED. Thank you.

    This doesn’t make sense. If she’s got daddy issues, why is she dating a boy?

  19. Ken Layne says at 12:56 am, August 14th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: No that is not a cool way to run a website. You should not force people to open a new tab; they can right-click and open a new tab if they want. THIS IS WHAT JEFFERSON MEANT WHEN HE INVENTED AMERICA.

    shortsshortsshorts: are you aware of that internet tradition? Cuz if you’re not, I am aware of all of them. Can I share the story of ceiling cat with you?

  21. gurukalehuru says at 7:04 am, August 14th, 2008

    Would he have loved her anyway, if her name were Lisa Druck?

  22. Advn2rgirl says at 7:11 am, August 14th, 2008

    Best line over there:
    “Daddy, can I have a pony?”
    “For a little while, honey.”
