The black dress she wears in the opening sequence is a classic example of how Hollywood knew how to titillate even when they weren’t allowed to show much skin. That dress shows basically every curve, but covers almost her entire body, and she knows how to work it, too.

wrt the dancing;
Either the camera’s possible foreshortening made them seem closer together than they really were….or they managed to miss about a bazillion opportunities for their ankles to cross.

There’s a level beyond “professional”.

the larger lie, is what the likes of CNN is trying to do, trying to mirror Biden’s incapacity, that they were not only unwilling to address, with the perceived impairment of Trump, that signals aha, we haven’t learned a thing in four years,

I guess I have a certain nostalgia back to an era when cNN was unmistakably partisan, they have long since burned those bridges but one can dream

the most recent owners tried to bring them to some sense of balance, but what is that kipling line

they are paid to present an opinion, the facts are usually in the links, yes snark is the custom at the Horde, earnestness is usually a sign they are lying about something, because the corporate press, is almost invariably are, in small ways and large

in other news, Columbia is having to shell out 220 million as a settlement, I find they got off easy, for what they allowed to happen to Jewish students on their campus, maybe others will take the hint

Only if “fake doctors” have MDs, completed residency, and are board certified.

@Art Deco:No, it is not. It’s a perfectly reasonable description.

Only if “fake doctors” have MDs, completed residency, and are board certified. That’s not the narrative intended by the use of “fake doctor”. The Free Beacon said “not a practicing physician” which appears to be truthful, if hostile.

Ace is putting “doctor” in sneer quotes, comments at Ace include “Stayed at a Holiday Inn” and “I’m not a doctor but I play one on TV”.

Now the guys at PJ Media are getting paid for the lie–not sure about Ace–but blog commenters are either deceived by the lie, or spreading the lie despite not being paid. I’d rather not be doing either.

It’s okay to say that PJ Media’s headline lied when it said “fake doctor
