Ok, you threw out the hook. I bit. Now you gotta tell about it. I think I know. Once I had the misfortune to be seated next to a drunk on a flight to Vancouver BC. try sitting next to her for three hours on a flight.

Women's shelter cuts Bernhard after gang-rape line AP - Thursday, October 2 BOSTON - A women's shelter on Wednesday cut headliner Sandra Bernhard from its annual benefit after she said Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be gang-raped if she ever visited New York. Bernhard's made the remarks last month during her one-woman show in Washington before Palin visited New York to campaign. Bernhard said Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" during a diatribe in which she also criticized Palin for opposing abortion rights. Many guests at Rosie's Place, a Boston shelter, have been victims of violence, public relations director Leemarie Mosca said. "In light of our mission, we don't think violence against women is a laughing matter," she said. Mosca said the shelter expected to book a replacement before the Oct. 16 luncheon "Funny Women ... Serious Business." "Right now, our main focus is our event and making sure the event is a success," Mosca said. "And for us, that means not including Sandra Bernhard at this time." A representative for Bernhard had no immediate comment on the cancellation. In a statement on her Web site, Bernhard said the gang-rape comment was part of a larger piece from her show about "racism, freedom, women's rights, and the extreme views of Gov. Sarah Palin _ a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose." "I certainly wish Gov. Palin no harm _ I'd just like her to explain to me how she can hold such outrageous views ... and then go back to Alaska," she said. malaysia.news.yahoo.com
