2022 RIP thread

Longtime CNN anchor Bernard Shaw, who just happened to be "Farrah Fawcetted" by Her Majesty QE2.

If he died from being raped and murdered, would Kitty Dukakis support the death penalty for his killer?

The term "farrah Fawcetted" means to die the same day as someone more famous than you.

Stems from Farrah dying the same day in 2009 as Michael Jackson.

I didn't ask you to explain. My comment had nothing to do with that.

It was such a non sequitur that it was easy to assume you had misunderstood something in the post you quoted.

Ah, but this a J-worthy thing that someone should know. If Michael Dukakis had any chance of beating Bush I in 1988, he blew it with his answer to Bernard Shaw's question that many women regarded as cold and uncaring.
