Bush Asks Charlotte Church: 'Which State Is Wales In?'
The Glasgow Daily Record reports Welsh singer Charlotte Church called Pavarotti "a pig" and President George W. Bush "a proper weirdo" when she visited Scotland yesterday to promote 'Crazy Chick' on Clyde 1's Bowie At Breakfast. Church performed for Presidents Bush and Clinton, but wasn't impressed with the current leader of America. "Bill Clinton was really cool, but George Bush? ? No way," she said. "Clinton was lovely, in tune with everyone else, but George Bush just hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He asked me what state Wales was in. I said: 'It's its own country next to England, actually Mr. Bush'. If he doesn't know the rest of the countries in Europe, he could at least know what's in his own country. I'm really worried about it. He's a right weirdo."

2. That's really not a nice thing to say about Pavarotti.
I've met the guy and he's really cool.

He used to sing at Sammy's Steak House on the lower east side of New York sometimes circa 1978-84.

8. Pavarotti is a pig
And I'm not just talking about his appearance. His betrayal of his first wife alone qualifies him.

20. Hah!
Good one.

No, he had an affair with his secretary, got the secretary pregnant, and left his wife for her. His wife is around his age -- 60ish -- I think, whereas the secretary is considerably younger.

25. You are joking, I hope
He does look like Rhys-Davies, now that I think of it.

Unless Pavarotti did a guest appearance on Sliders. I certainly didn't watch every episode. Doesn't seem likely, though.

28. Of course, I'm joking.
Pavorati was the guy in the Indiana Jones movie.

7. We've always known that Bush is a moron.
But sometimes he says stuff so incredibly stupid that it still surprises me.

What state is Wales in? Geez.

23. Why instead of a debate, I wanted a "Geography Bee" with Bush v Kerry
When one of the networks asked us to suggest questions for a debate, I submitted, "What is the capital of Guam?"

9. If Bill Clinton had done that . . .
Once again, we have an example of the US press ignoring something that, had it been done by Bill Clinton, would have been meat for days or weeks of outraged editorials and jokes by comedians.

11. I've often said that it would be difficult for me, at age 48,
to fall in love with a woman roughly the age of my daughters. I just tend to be more attracted to women than to girls. But there are a few, like Charlotte, Natalie, and Scarlett, whose combination of beauty, brains, and talent make them really attractive.

27. Yep, they have all of those things
Fortunately, at 29, I don't have to feel guilty about finding those three attractive.

26. How will this affect the fundies and freeps?
Throw out the religious CDs with that angelic voice? They thought they heard Mary herself singing to them. Then she speaks and says Mama Bush's mischievous little feller is a "right weirdo." There's going to be some serious cognitive dissonance on the right.

29. And Wales' head of state is .... ?
It's a country. But not a state, in at least one meaningful sense. Polysemy tends to confuse many, many people.

Or we can say it's not a state, but a country, which leads to the same problem.

Its president/prime minister is ... ?

Its UN rep is ...

Its ambassador to the US is ... ?

* asked a stupid question. He got a stupid reply. I'm not going to split hairs as to which is more stupid, but I will suggest that asking for information, demonstrating you don't have it, is a tad less bad than presuming you're correct when you provide bad information.
