Marteeny says – reply to this

65

D: You bagged out Jessica Alba for her "plumage" but this dress has plumage too! Are you just knockin on Alba for the sake of it?
But Pene does look incredible. No doubt about it.

Laura De says – reply to this

Perez! You called Alba's dress the fug but Cruz's is a mixture of Garner's and Alba's! Shame on you. =p

Penelope is always gorgeous, though. She could be wearing a trash bag and still look terrific.

Obama Smoked Crack And Had Gay Sex says – reply to this

73

Re: Loathe Hillary – Hey Loathe, at 62 : Obama smoked crack cocaine and had gay sex in Chicago in the back of a limo with Larry Sinclair in 1999, when Obama was a state representative in the Illinois legislature. Sinclair filed suit on Obama and the Democratic National Committee to compel release of this information to the public on 2/11/08. Sinclair took a polygraph test on 2/22/08 and the results will be released to the national media early next week. (He passed with flying colors.) Check out WHITEHOUSE DOT COM for the details. Bill O"Reilly has stated that he will run with the story next week once he reviews the polygraph.

So Alba wearing plumage is blasphemous, and Cruz wearing plumage suddenly makes her best-dressed? Your logic is astounding.
