[Killick]

In case you missed it, Dave had an instant classic as a Top 10 last nite. Here it is:

8. "From Schwarzenegger To Pataki: Governors I'd Like To Oil Up"

7. "Another Confession -- I Can't Resist Entenmann's Pound Cake"

6. "At First I Just Thought I Was Bipartisan"

5. "The New Jersey Budget Crisis -- What Would Judy Garland Do?"

4. "A Look At The Governor's Balls"

3. "Politicians Who Left A Bad Taste In My Mouth"

2. "How To Push Through A Bill -- Or A Steve Or A Larry..."

1. "Why I Don't Like Bush"

damn.

 

[Buck]

1. How to use your sexuality as a beard for rampant corruption.

 

[Ace]

I like how he is pushing his book now saying he needed to tell the truth.

"I was lying then, but buy my book now because it's the truth."

Sorry. I'll pass.

 

[Jim Tom Pinch]

I'm curious how this book does in terms of sales. Does the gay community care enough . If not who else would this real interest?

 

[markvid]

I swear I'm not saying this to be a smartass, but there must be a market for this if he's on Oprah.

1. How to use your sexuality as a beard for rampant corruption.

Ding! Right on, fellow Eagle. I don't care who he slept with, but he screwed every single man, woman and child in New Jersey. I'm opposed to book burnings, but I'll make an exception in this case.

Once he does get on Oprah ... Bingo! Instant market. Just ask James Frey.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Good list, but no mention of "pocket veto"? :-\

 

[ThomsonONE]

For those of you that don't live near NJ, McGreevey isn't the tortured man he's proclaiming to be. He was one of the most corrupt pieces of **** ever to hold office in the state, and in NJ that's saying a lot.

His wasn't corruption where he and his cronies were getting rich, but still doing a passable job, this was stunningly callous disregard for the people of NJ. Shame on Oprah for giving him the platform to promote his book of lies.

 

[BigDog]

That's one of her gifts, no?

Those last three are just priceless.

How in god's name did No. 1 get through Standards and Practices?
Letterman's got some kind of clout at that network.

 

[Perry White]

The WaPo printed a VERY highly censored version of the list today in the TV Column; #1 didn't even get in at all

I was wondering that about both No.s 1 and 3. A little racey even for post-11 p.m. Dave certainly must have some power there (or nudie pics of Julie Chen).
