Funny, but not

Vanity Fair, in its current issue, has a little word game column called That Was Then, This Is Now.
One of the comparisons this time was for the phrase 'elegantly upholstered loafer'.
The 'Then' item was a Gucci loafer.
The 'Now' item was Fred Thompson, now now longer running for President.

Rico says he may have sent Fred money for his campaign he'll never see again, but this bit was nasty. Funny, and all too true, but nasty.
