The Corner

Glen, Sharon, Hillary

About the, yep, ten-thousandth e-mail on this point:

I realize this is perhaps the ten thousandth e-mail you’ve gotten saying [in the context of Mrs Clinton’s refusal to quit] that Glenn Close rises from the bathtub in Fatal Attraction — not Basic Instinct, as the latest installment of Radio Derb has it. This is an understandable error, as steamy Michael Douglas movies do tend to run together …

My reader goes into some ruminations, not really suitable for a family website, certainly not before lunch, about Mrs. Clinton acting the Sharon Stone role in the latter of those movies.

I am sorry. Those two movies and their names are easily confused. I knew it wasn’t Toy Story, anyway.
