so he asked a bunch of different women to respond to Christopher Hitchens’ recent essay. You know. The one in Vanity Fair called “Why Women Aren’t Funny and My Penis is So Small.”
Right. So Gene collected all the responses and then used them in the humor column he writes for The Washington Post, which comes out tomorrow. I was delighted to contribute and be included along with several women I admire, especially the masterful Tamara Jones. Not only is she one of the best features writers I’ve ever read but 10 years ago she gave me the best piece of reporting advice I’ve ever heard. When you think that you are done with an interview, always ask one more question: “Is there anything else?”
My favorite part about Gene’s piece is how right away he addresses the most incredible aspect of Hitchens’ entire essay.
Which is the fact. That what Hitchens wrote. Is so unfucking funny.
Painfully so.
Like turn away you can’t look bad witty witticism wordplay overwritten bon mot aching erudite reference trying so hard super super terrible amazing.
Which, I guess, to be fair.
Was pretty hilarious.
Him: hey sexy how thing’s going with u? every thing going good on my behalf. By the way u looking sexy by any chance is it possible that me and u could do lunch if so i would like that verry much. P.S. dont worry baby u have absolutelly nothing 2 worry about cause im a good man.
Me: Thanks for your message. Thing is going fine. I am thrilled to hear thing is going good on your behalf. Lunch makes me die a little inside so I’m afraid this will not be possible. Good luck with your journey. I have every confidence you will prevail.
Him: ok….but if u ever change ur mind im here baby

I am looking for a sweet lady to get to know. I am a very down to earth guy who likes long walks, nice fireside chats and fucking your ass. I am educated with a great sense of humor. I’m good with children and want to stick my cock in your ass.
I was born and raised in New York so I am a real city boy, but I yearn for some wide open spaces so I can fuck you in the ass. I am just as comfortable getting dressed up for a night on the town as I am with a bowl of popcorn, cuddled up on the couch, watching a good movie and fucking you in the ass.
1. Long Island Lolitas
The 19-year-old messing around with Christie Brinkley’s husband. The baseball Annie looking for love with Paul Lo Duca. Samantha Cole insisting she was once 19, too. Remember when Winger was big? Yeah, it was like that.
2. Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt brings sexy back
The only hot thing not produced by Timbaland this year.
3. We prefer “Aspartame-rack”
Forget the insane anti-Semitism (“Apocalypto” viewers did!) and revel instead in “Sugart*#s!” – Mel Gibson’s delicious ode to the female form. Sorry. It’s the seven limoncellos talking.
