We put a comic on the hot seat. This week's victim...
By SARA FAITH ALTERMAN | November 26, 2008
WHAT DO YOU THINK SARAH PALIN'S NEXT MOVE SHOULD BE?
Rather than hunting animals, she should be hunting all of the young men that are after her underage daughters.WHAT'S THE MOST SICKENINGLY ADORABLE NAME YOU CAN THINK OF FOR BARACK OBAMA'S NEW PUPPY?
POTUS.
I SEE YOU DO A LOT OF CORPORATE GIGS. DO CORPORATE PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE THE WORD "SYNERGIZE"? AND WHEN THEY DO, DO YOU WANT TO PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE?
Absolutely. Let's just say we'll raise it up the flagpole, see if anybody salutes it, but personally, I think that dog won't hunt.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON SOCKS?
If they're not red, they're useless.
WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE DANCE MOVE?
It's a minor improvement on the Elaine Benes dance move: a combo of the Benes chicken, the white man's overbite, and a mortar-and-pestle move.
