The Short List — Thurs., March 27
March 27th, 2008 by Joe Bardi in The Morning Papers 
- MSNBC’s kick-ass number cruncher Chuck Todd goes inside the latest poll numbers.
- The little lady should be seen and not heard: Clinton’s moneymen sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi telling her to shut her trap about superdelegate voting.
- Joe Klein floats Al Gore as the possible democratic nominee. Time to retire, Joe?
- McCain puts Russia squarely in the enemy category.
- The New York Post has linked Spitzer to a second call girl ring (“And There He Ho’s Again”) and provides details on the couple that ran Emperor V.I.P.
- Shuttle Endeavor zips by with a bang.
- The L.A. Times retracts their “Diddy did it” Tupac murder story. Puff is still guilty of murdering Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” for that shitastic Godzilla remake, though.
- Adobe’s Photoshop goes online in an “Express” version, and by “Express” they mean free.

$2 million last year?!! I am in the wrong business. How exactly does one go about becoming a pimp?

You’re telling me that the L.A. Times “Pulitzer Prize winning reporter” didn’t ferret out the fact that the Diddy documents were typed on a typewriter!
If you’re a reporter and you’re looking at some old school FBI documents that appear to have been hammered out on a typewriter you better be uncovering some Jimmy Hoffa shit.

Kyle, you’re already a pimp. You’re just of the 501c nonprofit variety. Still a pimp just the same, though.
Heidi: Too true. I guess when you really want to run a story, sometimes the judgment gets clouded. I don’t know whether to feel guilty because I immediately assumed the story was true and Diddy was a murderer, or to disregard the story and continue to assume (as I have for years) that Puffy was somehow involved in the Tupac studio shooting.
I think I’ll go with: Both.

Puffy?!?!
It’s Diddy, yo.
Oh wait … you’re right. At the time of the shooting it was Puffy wasn’t it? No. It was Puff Daddy.

Let’s be honest: It’s Sean. The rest of these names — Diddy, Puffy, P., J-Lo’s Bitch — are just clever marketing.
I harbor no ill will toward Mr. Combs. In fact, he seems to be one of the best self-promoters of the last 10 or 15 years. I will not, however, buy into his money-making bullshit. When Prince changed his name to that ridiculous symbol, I thought he was a complete tool (regardless of my personal like or dislike of “Let’s Go Crazy”).
Same goes for Puff the Magic Rapper.

Muff Daddy?
March 27th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
That’s actually “Muff Diddy,” to be precise.
March 27th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
That lives on Drury Lane?

Diddy Puff Audacity of Hope Daddy, from the Southside of Chicago.

“…Puff is still guilty of murdering Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir’…”
…with Jimmy Page’s help.

Puff Kitty massacred “Kashmir” only because “Misty Mountain Hop” was too fast, “Traveling Riverside Blues” was too complex and he thought “Moby Dick” was about, um, something else.

He must’ve confused that one with “The Lemon Song.”
