Did you know I stand on the shoulders of Coretta Scott King? I didn't either; but Donna Shalala says it's so, and so it must be.
Just as long as I'm not standing on the shoulders of creepy Yoko Ono, or crazy Courtney Love, or even some widow who's only famous because of who she was married to.
Yeah, but if you were standing on that freakishly tall Chinese woman from their basketball team a few years back, you could do quite the inventory of pools in the neighborhood.
Posted by: marc at February 7, 2006 11:15 AMStanding on Yoko Ono's shoulders would really be bad. What if she started singing? Standing on Courtney's shoulders would be like going on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, if you think about it.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

I understand people tend to exaggerate the importance of the life of someone recently deceased, but to say that all women stand on the shoulders of Coretta Scott King is just plain silly.
