No Capitol Steps, No Credibility
You can't say we didn't warn you . DC's Funniest Celebrity benefit went down last night, and while we missed it, our spies are everywhere. Blogger/Journalist/Funnyman/Karaoke aficionado Patrick Gavin, seen here doing his famous "semi-professional bloggers drive likethis" routine:
wrote up the event, but left out one salient detail:
"I Want To Boil My Hand"
"Contemplating breaking a bottle and swallowing the glass."
"$10 if you can do something to cause a heart attack."
Those were some of the hand-written notes jotted down last night by two attendees during one individual's set at last night's "DC's Funniest Celebrity Contest" (big fan of prepositional phrases today). No, no: We're not naming names, but we will say this: The shock & awe air attack in Baghdad had less bombs than this guy.
Bam! He's got a million of 'em! But seriously, folks, we heard this guy bombedsohard, Iran won't let the IAEA see his act!
As we said, spies everywhere. Those punchlines belonged to Bill Regardie , who, after doggedly investigating Marion Barry for years, now sits on the board of NORML. Nowthat'scomedy!
To get back to serious matters, if we may: Matt Cooper, still not funny.
