Why, Jessica? Or Should I Say: Why Jessica?

Yes, the simple placement of a comma can be a beautiful thing.

Apparently Jessica Simpson opted not to appear at a Republican fund-raiser. I am at an uncharacteristic loss for words. Mostly what I keep thinking is, "They asked JESSICA SIMPSON??" I am not a Republican, but neither am I a Jessica Simpson fan, so I just don't know who to make fun of more, today. But I do have to point out my favorite part of the whole article:

"People close to Simpson said she declined a request to appear that same evening at the gala fund-raiser of the National Republican Congressional Committee -- even after she was offered some private face time with Bush -- because Operation Smile is a non-partisan group."

Private face time with Bush! Oh, it's too, too much...

The irony here is that Operation Smile is ALL ABOUT faces.

So I would think face time would be a good thing.

I don't think Republicans are against horribly disfigured kids getting plastic surgery...unless they try to open an Indian Casino afterwards, or something.

i just thought "private face time" sounded kind of dirty, but i guess that (lamentably) shows where my mind is!

yeah, it was definitely an obscure reasoning on simpson's part. but i don't know how familiar she is with the whole REASONing process; after all, it does involve thinking.

oh, i'm SO mean.
