[QUOTE=Sonia Montdore] If she married Huey Long, then divorced him and married Andy Dick, she’d be Anita Long Dick. [/QUOTE] And if she married Jack Black between Huey Long and Andy Dick, she’d be really unpopular with her core audience. If the lead singer of Jefferson Airplane was adopted by the Amazing Randi prior to marrying (in some order) Ozzie & Harriet’s grandson Gunnar, a former president of South Africa and Boxcar Willie, she would be [wait for it, wait for it…] Amazing Grace Slick Willie Nelson Mandela. If the Clinton’s divorced and she married the man she claimed she was named for but divorced him for his sidekick, headlines would read Hillary Hillary to be partner in Norgay marriage. ---
