Laura Bush, Still Searching for the Lion and the Wardrobe

1. "I buried most of the people who knew about Whitewater over there. It's said that on a cold autumn night, you can hear them screaming."

2. Hillary recalls Bill's first words to her, "Hey good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later!" called through a car radio via a Mr. Microphone.

3. "Laura, have you seen that show Prison Break, where the villain is a female politician who wants to be president and she's involved in shady campaign finance deals and now has to kill everyone who gets in her way? Where do they come up with such crazy ideas?"

4. I'd say Laura is clearly a Blood while Hillary is an O-Town Crip.

5. "Laura, I know we've had our differences, but the truth is... you make me wet. You really do."

6. "Just how open to experimentation are Barb and Jenna?"

7. "Whore!" "Harridan!" "Stepford Wife!" "Emasculating Bull-Dyke!" "Bitch!" "Kennedy Lover!" "Hey! Now, that's below the belt."

8. "... and when you're not looking, I'm going to punch you right in the ovaries."

9. "Look at all those rough, dark, sinewy men swarming over the border. Hill, are you thinking what I'm thinking." "Yeah, let's sign 'em up for welfare and get 'em registered to vote."

2. After years of lackluster results, Exodus managed to increase its success rate to 90% by hiring this man as a counselor.

3. Home Depot would regret marketing Christopher Lowell's line of designer biballs.

5. Andrew Sullivan was thrilled at the chance to meet Sir Mix-a-Lot.

6. Much like the guys Sully hooks up with on 'beagles-n-bareback-dot-com,' the person who sent me this would probably prefer to remain anonymous.
