New York gossip queen's snarky take on Iowa Caucus

[UTUSN]

The whole column is fairly humorous. Anybody who can't see this as a little fun, please skip this thread. Do you really believe I haven't heard about MURDOCH and the NYP before?!1 I can't run my disclaimers every time. Do a Search for the one yesterday. Thank you!1

CAUCUS SCHMAUCUS, IT'S ONLY A CORN STATE

December 12, 2007 -- WHO the hell cares about Iowa? Barring a caucus every few years, who even thinks of Iowa. All it's ever brought us is corn, Herbert Hoover, the Wright Brothers, Ashton Kutcher and "The Music Man." Its main attraction is an airport in Des Moines that gets you out.


And this state with less people than I have in my kitchen is determining the future of our most powerful nation on Earth? ....



Another thing. In Iowa, it is not one person/one vote the way it is everywhere else on the planet except maybe Dade County, Fla. In Iowa, your candidate must get 15 percent of the votes otherwise he/she/it gets bumped and you can vote again. For somebody else. A second shot at selecting the next commander in chief of the armed forces. It's like, "So, on second thought, who knows, I think maybe I'll go for that other one."


Hey, this incredibly fabulous area is only important because we made it important, not because it is important. Ask what's it really known for and a local might boast, "We're the only state whose name begins with two vowels." Wow-ee! Take that, Ahmadinejad! The whole deal in Iowa is a hustle. It gets this state farm subsidies and fortunes in advertising. With tubloads of volunteers, gurus, journalists and specialists piling in, this translates to hotel rooms, restaurants, drivers. It brings Oprah to the plains and bread to the cornfield. ....



MORE politics. Andrew Cuomo's 50th birthday party schlepped out every one from former governor Mario Cuomo to current Gov. E. Spitzer. His ladyfriend, lifestyle star Sandra Lee, designed a 15-inch-high, four-tier cake of Manhattan's skyline. All in sugar. The Scales of Justice in marzipan. Took three days to make. And mom Matilda gave her attorney general son a Steuben glass beaver "because he works like a beaver." And said Albany's big chief Sheldon Silver to me: "Please don't say, like on New Year's Eve, that my pants didn't match my jacket. I'm wearing a proper suit tonight."

6. That Picture Of Her

That picture of her --

--the one in your post ---

is at least 30 years old.

[frazzled]

7. Andrew Cuomo is dating Sandra Lee, ew?

Is she that slim blond who decorates store-bought pudding with Reddi-Whip on the Food Channel, and creates table scapes and then downs some kind of blue cocktail, ew? Is it that Sandra Lee?

[displacedtexan]

9. 4 tiers, 15 inches high, 3 days?

Sounds like something Sandra the Semi-Ho(me made) queen would
consider extraordinary.

Everyone in NYC knows that you get your cake from Sylvia.

And I don't believe for a second that Semi-Ho can do sugar work.

[cmkramer]

10. Yes it is

One of his daughters was even on the show with her. I think the theme was a "Princess Party".

[AlCzervik]

11. and i bet she was drunk by the time she was done, Sandra does love her booze.

and i bet the distilled spirits council loves her.

12. Thank you to all the posters for a fun, flameless thread, but to #6, I do NOT have control

over "Cindy"'s thirty year old pic!1 I am not her agent, personal assistant, photog, dog walker, or any other job-description
thing!1
However, she, and the other two gossipers for the NYP ought to pay me for all the publicity I give them!1
