    The GOP should quietly replace Jindal with that affable supermarket manager from the Fiber One commercials, who has probably done more for the image of (South) Asians than anyone lately. Although he's too pleasant to be Republican.

    @NigelAstydameia: I agree with the overall spirit of your comment. However Kumar from Harold and Kumar was the true pioneer. In some ways, the guy did way more than even Gandhi.

    The parties last year were insanity and this year I heard they were insane but subdued. Also a notable lack of gossip, people afraid of the chatter, aware of the gloom. I'm surprised more galleries didn't bail on attending, assuming they'd come out at a loss. Pam was hanging around for a couple days, Deitch was underwhelmed at his introduction.

    They should have auctioned off a 30 minute boat ride with Pamela. I would only need 30 seconds, actually.

    Reminds me of the episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta where the one lovely lady threw a charity auction party, and nobody bid on nothing, they just showed up for the free champagne and eats.
