ABC’s Blotter: As NOLA Residents Flee, Republican Party Officials Don Pink Boas and Swig Vodka Shots

1. Better not be! "Hookers & Blow" is the firm my atty works for.

If I find they're a bunch of elephant huggers I'm going to want my retainer fee back.

3. "Bare Naked Ladies" was such a disapointment, too.

Although I was relieved when I finally saw "The Naked Brothers Band."

Same goes for "The Swinging Steaks."
