   They have a picture of you in which you appear to be 8 inches taller than the guy you’re standing next to. How much did you have to pay for that?

   Healine of the day? Headline of the year! That’s one you print out and frame for posterity.

   Young Matt as Sawicky used to call him has arrived.

   You should drop the very unsexy unbuttoned top button with white t-shirt to the neck look. Yuck. Wear a tie or a different kind of white shirt that doesn’t show.

   Ick, I’ve never surfed the Wagg the Bogcolumn before. It reads like someone trying to channel for HST after doing a bowl of oregano.

   I’m sure it’s an honest mistake, not some kind of double entendre.

    Why does everyone think Matt’s some kind of dwarf? The dude’s over 6′ tall…

    Let’s start a pool. I’m guessing 230.

    I’m a liberal, and I hate both of those guys.

    I’m 6′2″ and weigh just under 250. When I’ve been on camera you might guess I’m 300. Seriously. (How many cameras did you have on you? Hahahah). No telling what a guy weighs based on a photo.

    Not that it matters.

    Dowd got a Pulitzer??

    Yes. For her opinion columns during the Lewinsky scandal…

    Ah, the 90’s, when we were carefree and when Dowd could get a Pulitzer for gossip.

    Bill Clinton liberal? lol

    I guess a centrist triangulating deregulating asswhip is what passes for a liberal these days

    “Who wrote that column? Is that meant to be humorous?”

    The headline is a funny one-liner, but the rest of it is a textbook demonstration of why one-liners should never, under any circumstances, be stretched out to column length.
