Robbie (Lanham) invited me to a panel discussion held by the partnering of Kenneth Cole, The New Yorker and Don Julio...The guests included Robbie, of course, David Rees ("Get Your War On"), Scott Dickers (creator of the Onion), Andy Borowitz was moderator...
I learned a few things...Tragedy = Comedy. The shorter the time between the tragic incident and the creation of the joke, the edgier the joke...Also, according to Monica Lewinsky's publicist, she is no longer known for her scandal with the former President...she's a handbag designer (this is in reference to Andy Borowitz talking of the best response he'd ever gotten to his satire of someone)...I will admit this, that I had been kinda torn between Obama and McCain, but found out a couple of disturbing things about McCain, 1) his voting record, primarily his non-vote for education for returning GI's and 2) him calling his wife a cunt in front of many witnesses...
I'm so proud of you Robbie...You did great...It was also nice to get a couple of free drinks too...
