Maureen: "Incidentally, I don't wear a wig..."
Right, because technically it's called a merkin.
Look, you're just babbling to yourself, impressed with your own ability to spew irrelevancies. Ted Kennedy makes an appearance, and you trot out the usual criticisms of his earlier days. I can't defend him or anybody else who has such an accident, but the fact remains that he lived on and continued his career, and only somebody with ill intentions keeps bringing that incident up at every opportunity. That person is you, and you can't deny that you have ill intentions. That's the one sore spot for you -- your own lack of grace. And the idea that you care about poor people whose hair goes to make wigs is a joke. You don't give a shit, you just care about scoring cheap points. I don't even think Michelle Obama wore a wig; you just made that up. Now you're off on a tangent about it. A true Wankologist.
