Friday, November 29, 2002 :::
Colby Cosh doesn't think much of Kissinger's new gig. In an aside on Rumsfeld, he says:
I keep expecting to wake up one day and hear that Rumsfeld bedded Britney Spears on national television or something.
I think Fox tried to set that up, but Britney turned them down,
fearing she'd be perceived as "selling out".
I don't really see what's wrong with Kissinger, though. His foreign-policy advice is taken seriously by most Americans, at least when we remember that he's still alive. Besides, this is the sort of job they always give to an "elder statesman" of some kind. Who else would Bush choose? Jimmy Carter?
As long as I'm rambling, I saw a picture of Carter today from a campaign for state senate, presumably taken in the sixties. He looked exactly like Gary Shandling.
