Lis to Deirdre: Shove Your Organic Apples Where the Sun Don't Shine
Lots of interesting information was gleaned from today’s Blonde on Blonde segment, not least of which that a streaker once exposed himself to a young Deirdre Imus, and that Lis Wiehl would put someone to death if they killed her two-year old child.
Lis, an attorney, suspects the jurors in the Casey Anthony trial feel similarly. “This jury is death penalty qualified,” Lis said, meaning that each jury member told the prosecution and the defense, before being placed on the jury, that they would have no qualms about applying the death penalty if Casey Anthony is found guilty of the pre-meditated murder of her two-year old daughter Caylee.
Asked if she could push the button or pull the handle that would execute somebody, Deirdre hesitated, saying, “That’s a great question.” Annoyed, her husband suggested she refrain from characterizing his inquiries.
“Why don’t we just confine ourselves to answering them?” he said. “How does that sound, sweetheart?”
In all fairness, dealing with the I-Man’s attitude is preferable, for Deirdre and probably for most women, to dealing with the pile of crap Rep. Anthony Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin returned home to last night, after being out of the country with Hillary Clinton over the last week.
“I would be mad!” Lis cried. “I’d be in his face saying, ‘You get some help now, buddy!” Lis would also insist Weiner resign his seat in the House because he is “a laughingstock.”
Abedin is reportedly pregnant, a development that doubtless complicates, at least for her, the question of whether she will leave her husband of less than a year. “I wouldn’t stay with him,” said Deirdre, who believes Weiner has “a sickness” that compelled him to send pictures of his penis, pecs, and other things to women via the internet.
Which called to mind some childhood memories. “Growing up, in our neighborhood there was a flasher,” Deirdre said. “A guy had a raincoat on, and he flashed himself whenever you were running to school.”
Though she was trying to make the point that what Weiner did is actually worse, Bernard seized the opportunity to psychoanalyze Deirdre, noting, “That explains a lot.”
In Lis’s view, Weiner’s biggest infraction is that he lied, over and over again, about his transgressions. “You can’t stay with someone like that,” she said. “He’s lying about such big things now—what’s he going to lie about down the road?”
Moving on, Imus treaded into dangerous waters by noting that a recent study found that apples, celery and strawberries are the fruits and vegetables most contaminated with pesticides. A few weeks ago on this show, Deirdre had recommended Lis begin buying organic produce slowly by starting off with apples, since they are among the dirtiest.
“You were whining about having to buy an organic apple!” Deirdre charged Lis, who maintained that organic apples are three times more expensive than regular apples, and therefore less affordable to the average person. Bad move.
“At the same time, your child has three times—up to five times!—as many carcinogens in their body,” Deirdre countered, adding, “I can’t believe she wants to support farmers who spray pesticides and kill us.”
Leading Imus to the final, most important question of Blonde on Blonde today: “Would either of you be willing to take your tops off and wrestle?”

Please send your good wish's to one of the greatest Sax players in the World
Clarence from EStreet Band
By now, many of you have heard that our beloved comrade and sax player Clarence Clemons has suffered a serious stroke. While all initial signs are encouraging, Clarence will need much care and support to achieve his potential once again. He has his wonderfully supportive wife, Victoria, excellent doctors and health care professionals, and is surrounded by friends and family.
I thank you all for your prayers and positive energy and concern. This is a time for us all to share in a hopeful spirit that can ultimately inspire Clarence to greater heights.

My deep apologies as this isn't the right place to post...but I haven't heard a mention of his stroke and you guys do so many music stories...sorry...dp
It's easy to see what a slime ball Weiner is....sending an old girlfriend and Fox contributer Kirsten Powers out to
speak for him. At first I admired this woman as she stood up for him on Greta Von facelifts show(Before the full story came out)
That quickly changed when-- shortly after talking to the old COWBOY....she came to her sense's.
Second thought
I am 60 and don't have cancer...but after seeing Mrs Imus t-shirt collection....I'm gonna pull a John McCain...and just show up
