Porn Talk

On Friday afternoon's show, Crap Talk host Bill Rowe asked political candidate Elvis Loveless if he was any relation to singer Linda Lovelace.

Singer, Bill?

Umm.

Not exactly a singer Bill but... oh never mind.

Linda Lovelace was just the star of one of the most well-known porno movies in history and probably the most profitable one in all cinema history.

The title of the movie, and Linda's particular skill, was the inspiration for the name given to the secret source Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein used to break the Watergate scandal.

After a break, Bill sheepishly explained that he'd actually meant singer Patty Loveless.

Pesky things those homonyms.

Ahhh. That explains it.

Quick save, there Mr. Producer

After all, if Bill had really been thinking quickly, he'd have tossed in the fact that singer Loveless has a song titled "I try to think about Elvis" whereas the actress Lovelace might have had some other connection to Elvis.

And then the eye-rolling would have started again across the network named for the Volvo Owners Club of Malaysia.
