Brit Hume is a classless ass

From Liz Smith at the New York Post Online:

I felt I had nothing to say on the Charles/ Camilla en gagement. But then I heard newsman Brit Hume “covering” the story, and saying, “Well, if you look at a photograph of Diana, you can understand, but this one . . . why? Why her?”

Good grief! Camilla is a normal-looking, middle-aged English lady. By no means is she a candidate for the bell tower at Notre Dame. In fact, she has grown more gracefully into her maturity than many “great beauties.”

Beauty does not automatically translate into stability, kindness, intelligence, compassion, wit, sexual prowess or happiness — not for the owner of the beauty, or for those in its axis. All it means is that nature has been both kind and cruel, because as surely as you are beautiful now, the day will come when you cherish candlelight. And Botox.
