Well, THAT Wasn't Pretty Monday, April 24, 2000

TITLE "Well, THAT Wasn't Pretty" I continue to believe, no matter what your position on the whole Elian deal, you could not have felt comfortable watching that whole thing come down.

Here is the close up of That Picture (from the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel):

"If Lee Greenwood were dead - which he is not …" Lee Greenwood's signature song is "God Bless the USA" -- which is also known as "I'm Proud to be an American."

"…he came out against killer hot water heaters …" From an AP dispatch last week: "The government is proposing tougher efficiency standards for residential water heaters, Vice President Al Gore announced today, the latest in a number of environmental initiatives from Gore's office as Earth Day approaches."

"Vagina Monoglogues" This, from the AP: "Actress and television personality Donna Hanover, the wife of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, is joining the cast of the sexually frank off-Broadway hit "The Vagina Monologues" next month.

"Beginning May 30, Hanover will take over a lead role in the play written by Eve Ensler, a personal friend and political supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Giuliani's opponent in the U.S. Senate race."

That story ran three times on the AP on April 21. The headline for the first write-thru was "Giuliani Wife Joining 'Vagina' Play" which moved at 7:25 AM. At 8:44 AM - an hour and 19 minutes later - the same story moved on the wire but the headline had been changed to: "Giuliani Wife Going Off-Broadway."
