Pajamas Media comedy hour

The finding that an Iron Age Meathman used hair gel has set the blogosphere alight to such an extent that it even penetrated the fact deflector shield of Pajamas Media, in the form of charter member Tammy Bruce ("her name was Bruce, but her manner was Frank"). Bruce makes the leap from Clonycavan Man using the gel to him being a metrosexual, and riffs:

I sense Hollywood is now putting together a "Gay Ancient Irish Bogmen" movie. You know, a classic, poignant tragic love story just like "Titantic." An American classic as a matter of fact. Except it's Irish. The only real difference is that the water where the tragedy occurs will be more shallow, like a, well, like a bog instead of the ocean. George Clooney and Liam Neeson will star, along with Natascha McElhone (excuse me I just got distracted there for a moment ;) playing the confused and frustrated tribal "girlfrend." Or at least that what she thinks she is...

Can you say "Brokeback Peatbog"?

[... pin drop ...]

Apart from anything else, she botched the link to Natascha McElhone, though that may have been a deliberate part of the ogling shtick. We're not sure what film she has in mind when she ascribes that role to Natascha, but for us the only one that matters is her performance in the brilliant Ronin. Which actually contains a very usable line of dialogue for Tammy's screenplay" "You stupid shite ... you're a dead man."
