New York Congressman Anthony Weiner (pronouced "weener") is getting married today to an aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton. The wedding is taking place at some castle in Huntington, Long Island. Guess who is officiating.
Bill!
That's right, folks. The presidential weener himself, Bill Clinton, is going to join this couple in holy matrimony. Not that local law provides for a former president to officiate at a wedding, but according to the media......
"it's authorized."
"That's right."
I can't wait for Bill to recite the wedding vows for Wiener and his bride to repeat.
"Do you, Anthony, take this br... er, woman to be yer lawful wedded bride, to cherish forever and to always be faithful until death do y'all part?"
"Sure." (Wink wink, nod nod)
"I don't think that's funny!"
And with that, it's off to the big honeymoon.
The "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" incident is one of the most well-known lessons of the Bible. A woman, who had been caught in the act of adultery was brought to Jesus Christ by the scribes and Pharisees as a test to see if the Messiah was a liberal in matters of the Law of God. In response to their deceitful query, He didn't condemn the woman, not because He was a liberal, not because He condoned her sin, but because the men who brought the woman to Him were Hypocrites. He was the only person there that day who was free of sin, the only one who had the right to "cast the first stone." He didn't stone her (or her accusers), but instead forgave her and told her to "sin no more."
ReplyDeleteIngrid,
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that nobody laughs at my jokes?
For Gods sake, lighten up, people!
Why is it that nobody laughs at my jokes?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're not funny?
Gary, maybe after so many years the jokes get old, could it be??
ReplyDeleteNext time I'll try to laugh.
The one constant is that when I put up something that is clearly satirical, I get hit with responses that are as serious as lung cancer.
ReplyDeleteI repeat; lighten up, folks.
If it is satire, then you are trying to make a point. That means that your point is up for a critique. It's not that we don't realize that it's a joke, we're critiquing your point. If making a joke excuses everything, then you should start excusing everything Bill Maher says from now on.
ReplyDeleteStick to what you're good at.
Lance,
ReplyDeleteAccording to you, what am I good at?
I miss those posts about your experiences in the DEA.
ReplyDeleteSee my reply to Siarlys in the Oakland case thread.
ReplyDeleteDid I ever write about the guy we busted just before he left to LAX to catch a flight to Washington? He was going to attend a white house dinner.
Guess who was president?
Jimmy Carter, of course.
