"Cleanup on aisle 7"

The NY Times does some predictable damage control on last Thursday's Lurch and Opie celebrity wankfest. Here's the net: Oh, those wacky celebs!

But the best part is in the little details at the end of the article:
Mr. Sunshine said the performers involved were not the dilettantes some might imagine. "You have entertainers who are serious players who really understand the issues," he said, adding that he believed Mr. Affleck in particular might run for office some day. "Some of the humor may have been a little over the top, but humor is one of the best means of communicating. We are talking about it, aren't we?"
Well, Mr. Sunshine (his real name) does really crack me up - maybe he should run for office?
Mr. Sunshine said that several of his clients, including Mr. Affleck, Mr. DiCaprio and Mr. Mellencamp, were planning to attend the Democratic convention as well, and that Mr. Affleck was planning to join Mr. Kerry on the campaign trail.

At the 2000 Democratic convention in Los Angeles, Ms. Goldberg was master of ceremonies at a concert after Mr. Gore's acceptance speech.

Yesterday, Peggy Wilhide, a spokesman for the Democratic Party, said she did not know whether Ms. Goldberg would be in attendance at the convention in Boston this month.
Oh please! Promise her a case of Ripple and tell her to come on down!
