In great contrast to Loretta's exemplary effort in applying an extra flavor of unexpected topicality to her joke yesterday, Leroy's dig at Loretta is just about the laziest zinger I have read all year. This is really just a step or two away from Leroy just straight up spelling it out and saying "my wife's uncontrollable shopping habit is bankrupting me". The comment loses a lot of its effectiveness since everyone knows Loretta always leaves the house with a credit card and Leroy never kisses his wife under any circumstances. All and all, a sloppy effort from a sloppy man; but a shopping joke is a shopping joke and a point is a point.

Official Count:

Leroy - 56
Loretta - 67
Push - 65
