Mid-Morning Report
So Cindy finally got to meet the President, huh? Although...she already has met the real president once before but she's entitled to at least *two* meetings with him, dammit! So could he please just go down there and meet with her and Charlie...er...Martin Sheen?! Please? Sheesh.
Let's keep our thoughts and prayers with the people in the Louisiana and Mississippi areas.
So Iraq has finished the charter of its new Constitution, and this is all the media has to say about it? Gimme a break with the Sunnis. The fact that they are upset about the finished document is a testament to its merits. Let's tune in and hear what these Sunni protesters are saying and doing:
"We sacrifice our souls and blood for you, Saddam,'' chanted the demonstrators. They carried pictures of Shiite clerics Muqtada Al-Sadir and Jawad Al-Khalisi who have joined the Sunnis in opposing the constitutional draft."
Gee. I wonder why the Shiites and Kurds are blowing these guys off? I'm sure Madison, Franklin and Hamilton would have welcomed input from the guys that were carrying "Long Live King George" signs, don't you?
And finally...I'm really depressed that I had to miss the MTV Awards, dang it. Here were some of the highlights I missed:
-- Ludacris managed to turn his hedonistic "Pimpin' All Over the World" into a multicultural Mardi Gras-like extravaganza, complete with steel drummers, African dancers and, of course, around-the-way booty-shaking girls.
This is why I'm such a big proponent of "multiculturalism". If the world could only just learn to pimp together, it would be a beautiful place.
-- When it comes to booty shaking, Luke of 2 Live Crew fame is the king with his infamous dancers, and he brought a bevy of women, a dance with Diddy and R&B heartthrob Omarion.
When I've had those visions of becoming world famous and dubbed the "King of ____", oddly I've never imagined the blank to be filled by "booty shaking". I bow to you, Luke of 2 Live Crew -- ye of the Jouncing Haunches.
-- The evening's most inexplicable moment may have come from R. Kelly, who remains a chart-topper even though he's awaiting trial on child pornography charges. On a bedroom set that looked like a scene from a Tyler Perry play, Kelly deliberately lip-synced highlights of his five-part soap opera infidelity song, "Trapped In The Closet," then debuted a new chapter involving a cheating wife, a cheating husband and his boyfriend.
Nice.
-- Some of the night's more decadent moments came during the pre-show arrivals. Lil Jon came by sea, on what looked to be a three-story, pimp-my-yacht contraption. The prison-bound Lil' Kim arrived on the white carpet in a Rolls Royce Phantom, though she looked somewhat demure in her low-cut mauve dress _ no pasties or dangling appendages this year from the diminutive rapper.
"Pimp-my-yacht contraption"...I love the way the word "pimp" can be used to make anything cool in the hip-hop culture. Maybe I'll try it. Yo, man -- what do you think of these pimped-out Dockers?
"The prison-bound Lil' Kim"...Are we really gonna miss Ella Fitzgerald when we have this type of talent among us?
