More Random Monday Musings...
In the movie Extreme Measures (which is horrible, by the way), Gene Hackman (a rather ambitious doctor) asks Hugh Grant (a rather ethical doctor), "If you could cure cancer by killing one person, wouldn't you have to do that?" Given that Larry Flynt is offering one million dollars to anyone who can provide proof of an illicit sexual encounter with a high-ranking government official, in the spirit of Gene Hackman's character, "If you could earn a million dollars by sleeping with one high-ranking government official, wouldn't you have to do that?" I bet some on the Hill will be going into hyper "sleep with me" mode first thing this morning!
How come they never ask any of the kids to spell "vagina" during the spelling bee? How awesome would that be? I'd ask them to repeat the word (slowly), give me its origin, use it in a sentence, etc.
Pronouncer: Vagina.
Thinking Fool: Vadge-eena?
Pronouncer: Vuh-jine-uh.
Thinking Fool: Is it sometimes referred to as "The Love Canal?"
Pronouncer: (Whispering to neighbor) How the hell did this kid make it this far?
Governor Richardson has to be feeling really good these days given Larry Flynt's above-mentioned offer. I don't learn a lot of gossip living in Washington, but Richardson definitely has a reputation for playing "Let me put my burrito in your [pink] taco." At least, that's what I've heard from two people who are well connected. Of course, I've also heard Parker Brothers is developing a Board Game based on the "Burrito in the Taco" craze that is sweeping the nation.
And to think, I really am an attorney.

OMG, the spelling bee thing cracks me up! Imagine all the fun you could have with that.
Now spell "butt-crack."
"Sorry you are incorrect, you left out the dash!"

Aren't most people on the Hill in "hyper 'sleep with me' mode" as regards high ranking government officials anyway?

Hmmm..Richardson is really playing the "I'm 1/2 Hispanic" race card, isn't he? I mean, really. He's about as white as they make them.

Political Aide 1: Shhhh! Here comes the mayor for the press conference.
Political Aide 2: Hey, I hear he is...you know!?!
Political Aide 1: My girlfriend said he is too. But I don't know.
Political Aide 2: Yeah, he is. Trust me.

Coming from someone who was looked up and down, then up and down AGAIN before being leered at by Newt Gingrich (at SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE, no less) I think I can safely say that a good number of them really ARE already in "hyper-sleep-with-me" mode.
