Hopefully to tell them to fuck the fuck off before even the first course is served for aiding and abetting stupid George W. Bush's lies.
But be sure to thank Condoleezza for 9/11. Her incompetence made it possible!

R4 LOL. Too funny and true.
At this time, General Powell was probably contemplating running for president. Rice was the Soviet specialist who helped transform the USSR to Russia.
What is your list?

I'd pick the 60s.
I'd start with U Thant, who was the U.N. Secretary General. I think he was only the second. I just think he'd have some good tales to tell.
Then I'd pick Joan Bennett, because I think she'd have a lot of stories about her stint as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard on "Dark Shadows."
My next guest would be Albert Schweitzer, because I've alway been aware that he was an important person, so this would be a chance to learn why.
Next would be Malcolm X, because I'd love to hear him tell his own story. Then there's Grayson Hall, an excellent actress who ended up being mostly known as Barnabas's PCP on Dark Shadows, though I think she also made waves playing a lesbian.
How could I pass. on Alexandra Moltke, the original Victoria Winters on Dark Shadows, and the "other woman" in the Klaus Von Bulow trial.
I couldn't resist having Ho Chi Minh as the next guest, giving him a chance to tell the American people his side of the story.
For my last guest, it's kind of tough. I really would like to choose Totie Fields, but Jerry Lacy's portrayal of Rev. Trask on Dark Shadows really fascinated me.

R33, I’m a big fan of Leontyne. Why did you pick her. I was going to add her to my list. But she’s in the wrong decade.
by Anonymous | reply 35 | June 5, 2023 12:12 AM |
R35 No she is not. Leontyne made her Met debut in 1961. By 1965, she was getting paid same as Callas, Sutherland, Nilsson, and Tebaldi.
