Lease: A new political scent-sibility

A new political scent-sibility

By Darryl Lease
Sarasota Herald Tribune

(snip)

Apparently, just about everybody who's somebody has bottled a scent and slapped a high-dollar price tag on it.

Donald Trump has "The Fragrance." Britney Spears has "Fantasy." Antonio Banderas has "Spirit for Women." Sarah Jessica Parker has "Lovely." And Kimora Lee Simmons, whoever she is, has "Baby Phat Goddess."

(snip)

But I suspect there's an untapped market for the stench in and around Washington. Here are a few of the possibilities I've sniffed out:

"Torture" by Dick Cheney. Musky is out, and musty is in with this distinctive fragrance reminiscent of secure, undisclosed locations, secret prisons and dungeons of yore. Splash a little behind your ears, and people will tell you all their secrets -- or at least make up something they think you'll want to hear.
