Ginger Lee, an “adult performer,” gave a press conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, who seems to be in multiple places at the same time somehow? Perhaps she is cloned? The topic: randy messages received from as-of-yesterday-but-not-as-of-today still-Congressman Anthony Weiner. And the magic that is New York took place.

At the Friars Club on Wednesday, a columnist for The New York Post, Andrea Peyser, who is known for her barbed commentary, sat in the front row, shouting out questions that Ms. Allred alternately dodged and addressed.

“Why are we here?” Ms. Peyser called out. “Are we promoting a performance? Does she work in New York?” (Ms. Allred did say that Ms. Lee was returning to work as a featured dancer on Wednesday).

“What is a featured dancer?” Ms. Peyser asked.

“A featured dancer is a dancer who is featured,” Ms. Allred said to laughter, before conceding that it would be fair to assume a featured dancer performed in strip clubs.

Andrea Peyser: still just straight up being an American hero! The last of her kind! God bless! Meanwhile, he is done.
