Mad Libs Redux

I am sure none of you will be surprised to hear that I am all over NJ Gov. McGreevey's speech of a few days ago. Sure, I think that it's wicked interesting that he's gay and all. However, it's his eloquence, particularly with respect to the sticky issue of "truth," which really impressed me. "Personal truth," no less. Yikes.

My experience has been that once people start thinking closely about their own personal truths, the process generally brings them to their knees. I am not trying to be your shrink though. So let's have a cocktail instead, and think about the personal truths of some of our newsmaking public personalities. Thus, I introduce:

MCGREEVEY MAD LIBS FOR EVERYONE

To refresh your memory, the exact part of the fantastic speech to which I am referring is this:

"At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is. And so my truth is that I am a gay American."

Let's see how this fits with some other folks we know:

MARY-KATE OLSEN: "And so my truth is that I am a __________."
a.) anorexic
b.) coke-head
c.) child actor who is totally avoiding the by-now-cliche downfalls of child-actor-dom

SCOTT PETERSON: "And so my truth is that I am a __________."
a.) killer
b.) man who doesn't look good as a blonde
c.) num-nuts

DONALD TRUMP: "And so my truth is that I am a __________."
a.) man who doesn't understand that I will die one day
b.) national joke
c.) showcase of bad taste

AVRIL LAVIGNE: "And so my truth is that I am a __________."
a.) celebrity who is more Hillary Duff than Courtney Love
b.) celebrity who doesn't understand that makeup-artist-applied-kohl-eyeshadow isn't all
that punk rock
c.) product with a shelf-life

ARNOLD SHWARZENEGGER: "And so my truth is that I am a __________."
a.) joke only a hair (ha) less funny than Donald Trump
b.) man who owes more to my wife than I would care to admit without making a joke out of it
c.) governor who tried to reduce the time an animal may stay in an animal shelter without being "destroyed."

Anyhow, whatever. Do your own!
