Archenemies of the States
Some say “Ukraine can’t win. An enemy sows seeds of their own destruction — like Hitler should’ve been stopped at Munich.”
They say, “Tell Putin: ‘Deal or we’ll give them a lot. More than they ever got.’ ” It’s like putting a horse in Putin’s bed.
Anyone forget the Georgia and Chechnya events? When newly independent Ukraine gave up 1,900 nuclear warheads for Moscow’s commitment “to refrain from the threat or use of force against the country?”
When Putin overtook the Crimean Peninsula Obama said: “Crimea’s full of Russians and sympathy to Russia’s views.”
With the Dems’ most left-wing presidential candidate ever, intense political fallout is scaring the buttered popcorn out of some.
Kamala could wreak havoc with executive orders — but remember the House, Senate and Supreme Court will act as our brick in the wall.
And the world gets even weirder. There’s been a MoveOn organization since 1998. Its activities included a techno-rocker Moby who organized “Bush in 30 Seconds” five years later. It was an online contest for the best 30-second anti-Bush TV ad. Why? Who knows. There were over 1,500 submissions. Footage juxtaposed George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler.
Under pressure from Jewish groups and Republicans, Hitler and hater ads were finally pulled.
Put the right feet forward
Kenneth Cole makes shoes. Now his documentary “A Man With Sole: The Impact of Kenneth Cole” reveals he’s no heel — just not always in step.
Cole: “I have issues and I’m not normal, but who is? We’re all f - - ked up.”
Also shoehorned into it, Alan Cumming and Katie Couric.
But for some it’s podcasts. Jerry Seinfeld told Graham Bensinger on his show “In Depth”:
“The ‘Tonight Show’ in its day was abject terror. Standing behind that curtain in 1981 knowing if I go out and it works I have a career. If not I’m back to those clubs. To see Olympic skiers with that stick in front of their knees you wonder ‘What’s that feel like?’ I know it feels like the next 90 seconds can change your whole life.”
With his last kid at college, Seinfeld will surely be looking for more listeners.
All played out
And enough with red carpet fundraisers. Always the Hamptons — never the Rockaways. Each VIP comes with a minder who holds the celebrity’s coat, fluffs the actress’ hair, dusts the fallen dandruff off the male star’s suit.
Helpers let photographers know who any semi-known actor is by holding up an out of view piece of cardboard bearing this unknown VIP’s name.
Actresses pose one foot in front, stomach in, fake smile out, false hair fluffed, B cup out, then this supermarket of flesh tottering on high heels is on to the next lens.
For her two-second shot the actress has been in makeup longer than it takes to sit through her movie.
In Canaletto’s East 60th Street restaurant two ladies were talking over pasta.
One said: “Women are better in math. Takes a female to divide her age by two, double the price of her dress, triple her husband’s salary and add five years to her best friend.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
