The Bunch Report

By: James Poulos

Sonny has joined Yglesias and I in the cool kids’ version of missing Lisa Kudrow — Shirley Manson nostalgia. In other Sonny-related news, Trent Reznor looks like a combination of Jacoby Shaddix and that dude from your frat who jumped up onstage that one time at karaoke and got like three bars into “Iron Man” before hitting himself in the teeth with the mic.

Additionally, Sonny’s speculation that I will be starring in the DC version of The Hills is total madness, completely unsubstantiated. I have not had developmental relations with that show…. That freak you have seen wearing half a beard and half a seersucker suit, slugging down gin and grapefruits like Snapples, is some kind of body double, a nameless wonder I have never met personally who bears the same relation to myself as Sam Fogarino does to Nick Gillespie.

I have spent quality time with both, and the resemblance is as eerie as it is uncanny…but while my kooky lookalike is languishing in nouveau-riche hot tubs and hanging condoms on stuffed antelopes’ antlers in Falls Church drawing rooms, I will be here, in Washington, working for The People.
