...funny lines kept coming. Radio personality Jim Bohannon wondered how someone could date a woman as indiscreet as Linda Tripp. "You'd think if you unhooked you'd hear a dial tone." Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, the rather whiny Clinton critic from MSNBC, did something unique to the evening: she engaged in self-mockery, with a long riff on television "pundettes"--"someone who says the same thing over and over and over, but never wears the same dress twice"--and then, even more bravely, actually sang a smoky number called The Pundette Blues...

In this tome the self-styled "Bloom Brontosaurus Bardolater" offers play-by-play essays that are a humane hymn to Shakespeare's continuing relevance as our "mortal god."
