Kiss us, Kate: Kate Clinton scores with a smart new CD and a wicked ear for politics.The Marrying Kind * Written and performed by Kate Clinton Kate Clinton has been an American comedian for over 25 years, specializing in political commentary from a gay/lesbian point of view. She was born in Buffalo, New York. Comic career * Whyscrack Records In a tough political season it always helps to hear from Kate Clinton. Easily as sharp as top topical bananas Jon Stewart Not to be confused with John Stewart or John Stuart. Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz on November 28,1962) is an American comedian, satirist, actor, writer, and producer. and Bill Maher, Clinton is overdue for her own TV gig. (In fact, she's shooting a pilot for the new Logo network.) In the meantime Adv. 1. in the meantime - during the intervening time; "meanwhile I will not think about the problem"; "meantime he was attentive to his other interests"; "in the meantime the police were notified" meantime, meanwhile you can check out Clinton's style on her new CD, The Marrying Kind. "I follow polities--so I can torture you," Clinton purrs to a delighted Los Angeles audience dining this concert recorded in December 2003. Actually, she saves the torture for her favorite targets: priestly pederasts ("There should be a law: three tykes, you're out"), Dick Cheney ("the Bush whisperer"), and of course, George W. Bush himself ("that thing he does with his lip--like Mister Ed at the "half-door"). Fans of Clinton's Advocate columns will get a kick out of hearing her delivery, which is simultaneously benevolent and menacing--a trick one suspects she acquired during her early years as a schoolteacher. Surely both tones have come in handy Verb 1. come in handy - be useful for a certain purpose be - have the quality of being; (copula, used with an adjective or a predicate noun); "John is rich"; "This is not a good answer" as Clinton expands her charmed career with gigs like this year's tour as opening act for Melissa Etheridge. Rising-star status or no, you can depend on Clinton the activist not to go all bourgeois on you. Forget a same-sex wedding announcement in The New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of Times, Clinton insists on The Marrying Kind. She and her girlfriend want one that says "Prefer to Live in Sin." |
