Miers: “I’m sorry, Miss…? Is it too late to turn half those hamburgers into cheeseburgers? And while we’re at it, better give me 3 small fries to go with the 3 large and the 3 supersized fries. As long as we’re leveling the gustatory playing field, there’s really no legal reason I can see why midgets and dwarves shouldn’t be equally represented…”*

update: “Oh. And go ahead and really really char about 12% of those fries, would you?”*

I think they’re supposed to be called “little people” now.
HEIGHTIST!!!
Yes, but does Harriet know that?
SHANNON ELIZABETH IS A SEXIST!
Speaking of midgets… There’s a terrible new TV show on CBS–’Threshold’–which has a midget in the cast, and he’s fantastic. I watched the premiere episode and it has bad writing and a cast with absolutely no charisma, with this one exception. His name, rather unfortunately, is Peter Dinklage. But he’s very charismatic.
After Threshold is cancelled, I think you can expect to see him get quite a lot of other acting work. It was gutsy of the producers to give him a shot. (Or, it was cynical–but it the results were well worth it.)
Well, I’ve gotta admit you’ve got me there. I have no answer because, you know, only Bush knows what Harriet knows.
I’m not surprised to find you people glibly dismissing the underlying current of oppression which stains the history this “great” country. If you were even the slightest bit interested in compassionate self-reflection you’d come to realize the painful damage the Hightism of the Unfairly-Tall has done to the Differently-Heighted.
“I think they’re supposed to be called ‘little people’ now.”
How typical of you illegal, immoral, Theo-Fascist Neocon Racist Oppressors: analogizing these Noble Imps to the nanny of my children, my driver, or my doorman.
FUCKERS.
(Submit the word, arms: you can’t hug your shorties with depleted uranium arms!)
I think Peter Dinklage was in The Station Agent, too. Good flick.
Are you trying to suggest that if Miers had gone to an Ivy League school, she’d be able to order more decisively at the drive-thru?
ELITIST!!!
Fuck Shannon Elizabeth!
I prefer the term “Intercoursal American.”
TW: “Person.” Of fucking.
