Open in app

Let give you some relief

and sing about somebody else for

a change.

And she's a woman.

Man, what a woman.

Always in the news.

Always happening.

And of course, now that it's

Winter Olympics time,

I can't help but...

No, not that.

God bless Tonya Harding.

Did anybody see

her on The Weakest Link?

Was that incredible?

With Kato Kaelin and Jennifer Flowers.

Oh my God, I died and went to heaven.

And recently,

just this week or last week

or a few days ago,

she's getting sued by her landlord

for back rent.

She's so happening, man.

She is en courant, man.

She is so happening.

A perennial.
