Like many professionals of a certain age, Richard Cohen goes to a lot of funerals. Very, very, very soon, he will attend his own, and everyone will be able to laugh in his face about how stupid he was. But for now, he must write Washington Post op-eds letting us know that he goes to, like,
<blockquote>This is a tale of two speeches. </blockquote>
No, it is a tale of two dicks.
One was Richard Holbrooke. Richard is short for dick. The other is Richard Cohen. Richard Cohen is a short dick.
Yeah, yeah, he went to a funeral. Big deal. What we really want to know is did he get lucky?
&quot;balm to the ear&quot; *Gag*
The reason he was so disappointed is that Cohen was relying on the applause to keep him awake. He probably was snoring and drooling.
