I don't even have to turn to a reality show on Bravo anymore. The news is entertaining enough these days. You really can't make this stuff up. Have any of you been watching? All of it is so much juicier than The Real Housewives.....
As Dorinda Medley from NYC Real Housewives says: Say it, Forget it: Write it, Regret it!
In response to Roseanne's explanation for her racist tweet about Valerie Jarett, she said, "it was two in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting. So, I need to ask: Who knew that Ambien's side effect was racism? The only side effect for me, is that I get up and have a snack in the middle of the night!
In reference to Disney-Owned ABC's quick firing of Roseanne: a host on MSNBC asked: Who could believe Mickey (Mouse of Disney fame) has a greater voice or influence than our current President?
(Trump did not think Roseanne should have been fired).
Bette Midler posted her hysterical reason on Melania Trump's (in)visibility these last 3 weeks: "Melania still hasn't been seen. 22 days. It seems ominous. Maybe she just drunk-cut her own bangs and doesn't want to upset her fans. I've done that plenty of times!!!"
Maury Povitch on fighting with wife Connie Chung: She (Connie) wants to talk it over until she wins. And then when we get up in the morning, she wants to discuss it even more. Come on ladies-Isn't that all women?
Bill Clinton said today that "he has never personally apologized to Monica Lewinsky". In a brilliant interview this morning by Craig Melvin, Clinton was definitely not contrite enough about his affair with Lewinsky. If he had just said that he regretted the affair, and that he wished he had apologized directly to her, it would be over. Rather, he portrayed himself as a victim who left the White House 16 million dollars in debt. Oh, Poor me. In that moment he sounded exactly like Trump who always makes himself out to be the victim. Bill-you had the opportunity to make it better; to apologize, set an example, and move forward. I am stunned you were so unprepared for the questions and you made it about yourself. Disappointing.
That being said, Clinton went on to talk about the Trump administration and said: "Do we have the
right to change the rules? YES"
"Do we have the right to change the facts? NO" Here I agreed with him!
And close to that same topic, Rudy Giuliani explains why it would be a bad idea for President Trump to testify, and said; " Our recollections keep changing." Ha Ha-that's exactly what happens to me, Rudy, when I have had two vodkas on Saturday night. What's Trump's excuse? He doesn't drink! Edibles, maybe?
As Colonel Nathan Jessup says in the movie, A Few Good Men: You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! Believe me-I am soooo ready for the truth. Robert Mueller-tell us what you got!
