The rabbitzes have outdone themselves

Wow what a piece. I was reading along nodding at all the right junctures, laughind out loud and being somber by turn-just like TV!!! Thanks for a great burst of well written commentary and nice talking points-I loved the update your resume and the whole smell thing-never thought of it that way. The only thing is I often feel a little bad for Heather having to sit through all this crap on TV just so she can turn in pieces like this. But hey it's her job.
