Editing mistake: when you're wealthy you have staff to overturn furniture when you're angry. Breaking glasses, too! Who would want to chance cutting themselves. Too bad Teddy didn't think of ordering a houseman to get drunk instead of doing it himself. Would have save a lot of money, embarrassment, hangovers, and a marriage.

Over at Newsbusters, Jill Stanek is channeling Duh Gov'Nuh, and making this crappy book all about her.

She was a nurse in Chicago. On the Internets, she peddled the story that people in China eat aborted babies. She is the source for the story - and I use "story" carefullly here - about living babies being thrown away in a Chicago-area hospital.

I recall Media Matters for America looking into that one - and not finding much there.

Anyway, in a desperate attempt to call attention to herself, Nurse Stanek objects to the 3-page Chapter in "The Amateur" dealing with Mr. Obama serving in the Illinois Legislature.

I mean, if she can't get down with this book, who in the world can?

I did that once after losing Parcheesi. It was just cheesy.

When they serve Wild Turkey, they aren't talking about a bird. There's talking about a bottle.

Remember the House of Representatives scandal where Reps were drawing money to pay for postage?

And one day some bright person said "Hey - wait a minute. They mail all their shit for FREE!"

So it wasn't a table she flipped? It was a tv tray?

Get real. The furniture was overturned in drunkeness, not anger.

Relax, it all works out fine in the end - when the aliens invade, Ethel goes on a rampage and starts smashing them. Plus, she catches Obama when he falls out of the sky after blowing up the mother ship. Everyone's all happily ever after, or at least until the sequel comes out.
