Everyone Makes Mistakes

Mon petit croque-monsieur, I know the distaste with which you regard that proffered hand. I, too, would be surprised if it were well-washed and, even in France, one must have hygiene standards. But, truly, it would be a good thing if the distasteful man could secure the release of those prisoners that is your heart’s desire (besides me, of course) and I cannot help but admire your fortitude again. If you need to rid your mind of the memory of his voice, call me, okay? [Yahoo News]

CNN Live Mic Blooper! Wacky Fun in New Orleans

Yes, we heard Kyra Phillips on the air from the bathroom during Bush’s speech, live on CNN moments ago. She was talking about her brother’s bitchy wife, and how hard it is to find a compassionate man. We agree. We are working on getting the video.
