Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on Time blogger Joe Klein’s recent post suggesting that, because conservatives wear short skirts, he can understand how many progressives would be justified in raping the dirty skanks
Garrett: “Say, you think this Klein dude would be willing to front me some of whatever the hell it is he’s snorting? Because seriously, I could probably cut it with cornstarch and turn a 400% profit for him—and that’s just by selling it to Cameron Diaz and Gwenyth Paltrow alone. Provided I can get past the gates, of course. “Truth is, I hear Gwen’s still pretty mad at me for
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the decision by the Marysville, Ohio’s Parks Commission to rename the city’s “South Park” “Greenwood Park” to avoid any connection to the controversial TV show.
Garrett: “I dunno. Instead of surrendering your park to a bunch of construction paper cutouts, why not just cowboy up and take the fight to them? You know—like, hire somebody to doodle up a battalion of cartoon National Guardsmen to go all Kent State on their little punk asses?” “I mean, that’s what Stan Lee would do. If he was younger. And as totally hopped up on Greenies as I
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the likelihood of National Democrats retaking the House and Senate in November
Garrett: “Meh. Who cares. Unless—wait a sec, are those the ones who, like, offer ‘treatment’ vouchers for methadone and a free place to shack up while I’m getting my load on? Because if so, that would be so totally the tits, man!”
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on Paramount Pictures’ decision to end its 14-year relationship with Tom Cruise over his increasingly outspoken proselytizing for Scientology
Garrett: “I’m not much into the Scientology myself, but I did once cut a half-dozen Paxils with a line of Flake, and I gotta admit, for a few moments there, that shit had me believing in space aliens, too. “Not only that, but it cost less than joining the Church, and there were no funny hats involved—unless you count waking up on Mulholland with a passed out Adrian Zmed sitting
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on a new UCLA study that finds marijuana smoking, rather than increasing the risks of lung cancer, may actually guard against it

Shannon Elizabeth discusses the importance of keeping classified information classified, particularly in a time of war, and excoriates the NYT for leaking the NSA “domestic spy” story: a performative

Peter Fonda comments on the leak-driven story about the NSA’s “illegal” domestic “spying” program authorized by the Bush adminstration under AUMF and FISA authorities
Fonda: “All I’ll say on the matter is this: In ‘75 or thereabouts, I had a nice steak dinner with Frank Church, and the shit he laid on me about COINTELPro—the extent, man, to which the government was watching us—made the hair on my nipples stand on end.

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on Democratic outrage over the new GOP ad that depicts prominent Donk leaders advocating surrender in Iraq
Garrett: “All’s I know is, had Dean or Pelosi trotted out this same line of bullshit as an excuse to pull out of rehab, the judge would’ve slapped them with a parole violation—forcing them to unload smack from their private stashes and hock their Vespas just so they could afford to pay their shyster lawyers’ attorney fees. “Trust me on this.”* **** related

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the recent Keith Richards revelation that he snorted his cremated father’s ashes
Garrett: “I realize it isn’t quite the same thing, but one time up in Canyon City, Jimmy Baio, Jackie Earle Haley, and I were so high from huffing model glue that we actually rummaged through a Quizno’s dumpster for an overtoasted cheese steak , then cut it with a handful of ground-up Sudafed and snorted it.
