The weirdest lust triangle of them all: Elizabeth, Jon and me

In a completely inappropriate, self-aggrandizing way, I had a very proud moment last night when I heard the news that one of my favorite public people has been added to the short list of those being considered for a nomination to the supreme court. I had absolutely nothing to do with it, of course, but the first time I saw Elizabeth Warren interviewed was a bit of a lusty moment for me. Here, I thought, as I listened to her and Bill Moyers trash pretty much everyone with any financial power, is someone who actually says something. And she takes good care with the word when she says it. I suppose you could call her dowdy. You could call her plainspoken. You could call her lots of things. I have two words to describe her: Thank God. But I would have never in a billion years imagined her being nominated for anything, especially the supreme court. She makes too much sense. Anyhow, I was reading the news stories on the internets this morning and I found something astonishing: Jon Stewart has a crush on Elizabeth Warren. In fact, he said that even though he knew her husband was just beyond the reach of the camera when he was interviewing her, he still wanted to make out with her. So even more unlikely than the notion of Elizabeth Warren being nominated to the highest court in the land is this: Jon Stewart and I have something in common.
