I find it quite appropriate that Jaromir Jagr sports a landing strip on his face.

Mike Nesmith's mother would be proud. 

Let the Costalucion begin!

Today they dusted off Catherine Baker Knoll, hooked her up to a car battery and injected her with equal parts of B12 and Red Bull so she could make an appearance at a Hillary Clinton rally in Market Square. And once again, she did not disappoint. According to thepittsburghchannel.com:

Both Democratic candidates made a final push for votes on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary — but it was Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll's comments to former President Bill Clinton that stole the spotlight in Pittsburgh.

Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato was introducing Clinton to a crowd of about 6,000 people in Market Square, where they had gathered to hear a campaign speech by Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton.

When Onorato tried to hand over the microphone, Knoll grabbed it and let loose with some talk targeted at Onorato and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.

"They never recognize the lieutenant governor. These two men can't stand women," she said, before leaving the stage while talking to Onorato.

After the campaign event ended, Knoll spoke briefly with WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Paul Van Osdol.

"You really think that Mr. Onorato and Mr. Ravenstahl don't like women?" Van Osdol asked.

"No, it's a guy in the back who doesn't know who Cathy Baker Knoll is," Knoll said.

"Why did you say that about Luke and Dan?" Van Osdol asked.

"Because they're afraid of the guys who call the shots," Knoll said. "You know what? I'm not afraid of anybody."

Watch the video. 

A few observations:

• I'm sure when Billy "The Wad" Clinton heard the phrase "can't stand women," his inner voice said, "I don't understand this phrase, 'can't stand women.' What could this mean? These words confuse me."
• Very timely of Catherine Baker Knoll to point out that the guys who are supporting Hillary Clinton, a female by all indications (though debatable in Hillary's case), can't stand women, and at a rally for said female presidential candidate no less. 
• I love when she says, "it's a guy in the back who doesn't know who Cathy Baker Knoll is." No, babe, the Wizard knows who you are. He just can't believe you're still freakin' alive.
• I like how she has her crumbled up grandma Kleenex in her hand as she's saying that she's not afraid of anybody.
• If Rachael Ray worked at WTAE, she would refer to Paul Van Osdol as P.V.O.

That's some funny shit, Jack. You can keep your culture and robotics and great hospitals. This is the shit that makes Pittsburgh great.
