Probably the New York Times has a pile of mean lawyers. Probably no presidential candidate needs to litigate, during election season. The timing is suspect. All we're sayin…
In other happier political news… How will those Clintons feel about losing if indeed that is where we are headed? They must have thought it was theirs when this all started, or at least they had a strategy that felt that way, to us. After all of Bill's anger flashes, it's hard to look back and we wonder if they'll suck it up and lose gracefully or if they'll blame everyone -- voters, their strategists, THE MEDIA, a favorite target -- or even the myth of Obama that they keep trying to peddle as script. Be interesting, this post-mort, if she does lose. We think Hillary won't get over this for the rest of her life.
Another thought we've jumbled around lately with a coupla pals. What if the Barackster picked Deval Patrick, the very fresh Massachusetts governor -- and plagiarist-in-crime -- as his running mate? Would America come undone, with two black candidates on a national ticket? Howard Dean would be moved to scream again. Surely the party honchos will insist on a usual suspect to counter any McCain criticism that he's a freshman with a gift for oration. It's fun to speculate.
Speaking of the general, we give a big princess shout-out to Cindy McCain's consistently rockin' chignon. We do tend to think that the pin with the pearls and earrings and bracelets is over-accessorizing. Otherwise, she's polished. She's nearly out-poshing Posh. (You know, the lovely Spice songbird and fashion empress Mrs. Beckham?) Another thought: Cindy is Elle Woods all grown up, no? We doubt Elle would be on the sidelines so much, but still. You kinda get it. Fits.
In other equally fascinating news: Playboy has launched a new energy drink. Not surprisingly, it contains "horny goat weed" -- whatever that might be. We just thought you'd like to know.
Spring Training. Right around the corner for us baseball lovers. Our fave player, Mr. Curtis Granderson of the Detroit Tigers, has a new contract. He's also blogging again on ESPN.com. We love to read his stuff. He's such an All-American guy, very sweet, optimistic and boyish. Check it out. We hope to get to Florida next month for some games. Nothing better.
