Whoa. That's a good one. Are the Dem-wits really exposing themselves to the Repugs these days in Minnesota? Either that's a lot of chutzpah being displayed, so to speak, or a failed SNL skit... or else they must be harder-up for entertainment in the Twin cities than I realized, so to speak... now that Mary Tyler Moore retired (having already left two other Dicks) ... which is another curious story of gender punage... Dick Van Dyke! LOL ... isn't that name more transparent than Beaver Cleaver? I have this image of Norm and Al standing in front of the Supremes, and dropping trou on cue. Al sez, see Norm you came up a bit short in every department, didn't you?" That was the shtick that didn't make the cut on SNL... and for you trivia nuts out there, wondering about the first nexus of MTM and Al, if there was one - flash back 33 years or so (1976) "Weekend Update with Chevy Chase": After praising her recent "anchoring duties" Chevy Chase makes faces during Jane Curtin's faux-like serious commentary while a wandering junk food snacker Al Fraken-shine, looking a bit like Lou Grant hissef, reads over Chevy's shoulder as he delivers his side of the news. A few minutes later, after a blind guitar-playing Negro (Garrett Morris) and a poet (Steve Martin) perform, we have the MTM bit. You probably remember Ted Baxter (Steve Martin) and his Drano-in-coffee prank on Mary Richards (Laraine Newman). Mary herself did not appear with her emaciated 90 pounds of nervous energy, until years later with who else, Elvis. Elvis still lives you know, but he changed his last name and married one of my favorite jazz singers... ....but none of this is a funny as "Democrats exposed"... .... speaking of which, heck, I just saw the truth from the Safeway checkout line, that Barry is actually gay, and W tried to off himself over the bad things that the "Dick of all dicks" has been spouting-off to anyone who will listen... will wonders never cease?
