Quick Bursts

Headlines that need no exposition:

Barbara Streisand Psychoanalyzes Bush

Kerry Letter: Bush Must 'Confront Reality' of Iraq

Now there are two level-headed individuals.

Reminds me of a George Carlin line: "Hire the handicapped...but don't let them take your rectal temperature."

UPDATE: Here is the "reality of Iraq" that Lurch would do himself a favor by confronting. But first he'd have to put down his magic hat....

UPDATE II: Not really related to the above, but another burst to make the trifecta:

Will Hollywood Democrat Alec Baldwin ever crossbreed with right-wing provocateur Ann Coulter?

It can't be ruled out - but judging by their reactions to the possibility, it would sure be an angry coupling.

"Would you rather sleep with Ann Coulter or Dianne Feinstein?" Elle magazine asks the actor in a raunchy interview.

"I gotta go with Feinstein," Kim Basinger's ex answers. "With Coulter, we'd have sex and I'd have to jump out the window. I wouldn't even get dressed."

Yesterday, Coulter told Lowdown: "That's the only reason I can think of for wanting to have sex with Alec Baldwin."

At least there'd be no question of who was going to be on top....
