OL’ LIZARD EYES
Cincinnnati Post managing editor Mark Neikirk:
With his lizard eyes and pale, pasty, pudgy face, Al Gore lacks the weathered-by-wind look authors out to save nature ought to have.
Unfair! You try living in a permanent Gore Effect, pal. You’re not exactly going to get a suntan.
UPDATE. Al’s pal totally beclowns herself:
Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion faux pas in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated “Shrek” films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians who suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring here Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong’s favorite political slogans ...
Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao’s most famous political slogan.
