Unfortunately, try as I might, I'm not going to make any of
these John Edwards and Tim Robbins events. (I did see the pair
together recently in
NYC.) But, if my favorite
plantation owner or any of his pie-baking minions happens to
stop by the AmSpec blog, I do have a message for him:
Dearest John,
A few nights ago on Hardball you chose not to say whether you
thought Oprah was a bigger star than Tim Robbins. Hope springs
eternal in your heart, John! And, so, please allow me to offer a
heartfelt prayer that, should Mr. Robbins somehow draw the same
stadium sized crowds as the Big O did last week, that you, Mr.
Robbins, the Iowa City Public Library, the Grinnell Eagles Club and
the Weeks Middle School Auditorium all survive the deluge in one
piece.
