Does Anyone Have A Spare Lace Hankie?

…the Village is running short.

This is getting really comical. The LaVyrle Spencer Book Review And Ladies Circle Jerk Society had a conference call today. And they were utterly shocked *SHOCKED, I TELL YOU* to the point of near delirium:

“I was utterly shocked,” Sen. John Warner, R-Va., told the conference call, “… that he would in such a disrespectful way attack one of his fellow career military officers.”

“Beyond comprehension … further erosion of our nation’s political discourse,” said former Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., in a written statement.

“Complete silliness,” retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Carl Smith said on the call.

Retired Marine Lt. Col. Orson Swindle said Clark was “denigrating the character and the experience and the integrity and the performance” of McCain.

“A very indecent thing,” said retired Air Force Col. Bud Day.

You are no Officer or Gentleman, General Wesley Clark! I shall have my butler escort you from the parlor and remove you from the company of these well bred gentle ladies before you further erode the discourse with your shocking indecency. The honor of her Grace the Duchess of Sedona shall not be besmirched by your kind, sirrah!

James, burn some feathers and fetch my salts immediately. The Dowager Lady Swindle just fainted dead away!

And bring us some tea and cream cakes. We’re feeling peckish.
