You know, I did realize that Arianna had an actual functioning sense of humor, way back when she let Al Franken make a cunnilingus joke at her expense in front of Falwell, of all people, on national television. But I must say, I never ever suspected she'd do something like this. I can't figure out whether to be appalled or impressed. I mean, I have gone to extreme lengths at times when I ran out of writing ideas, but still ... (Although, you know, I did in fact hear that Al has gained 40 pounds since the election. Can't document it, though. In any event, he does not seem to be distinguishing himself well as a teacher [NY Times, registration required], so maybe he'd better sashay back in to politics.)
