Woo woo! Attention passengers – the Tanya Harding train(wreck) has once again pulled into the station.
I truly don’t know how she does it, but Tonya Harding has a knack for making people laugh. At her (obviously), as opposed to with her. Harding appeared on HBO: Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel a few weeks ago to whine about Obama’s mention of her in a not-so-positive (but humorous) light during a speech. In anecdotally referring to what his advisors claimed needed to be done to take on McCain during the election, he stated, “He’s gotta knee cap her. He’s gotta do a Tonya Harding on the front runner”. Apparently, this did not go over so well with Harding, as she preceeded to have a cryfest about it for God knows how long.
A little advice Tonya – Obama just provided you with an additional 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps instead of whining about it, why not spend your time doing something a little more constructive? Like writing him a thank you note. Or having surgery to get your voicebox permanently removed. If Obama referred to me in any context, I’d be completely thrilled. He could refer to that time I fell down the strairs while drinking in college and broke my finger as the “unfortunate embarassment”, and use it as a metaphor for that dark period when Jeremiah Wright nearly killed his entire campaign. Seriously, you wouldn’t be able to SLAP that smile off my face.
Watch the vid. It’s bound to entertain. Cheers!
Side note: I had a long, hard struggle in deciding upon which video to post. It was between the one above and also another true gem. Click here to see Tonya in all her fly-fishing glory. I promise, it will not disappoint.
