You are strong, you are beautiful, you are perfect.
Welcome once again to the show by, for and about women.
.
.
- Go on Girl.
- All right.
I'm your host, Shawanda Harvey.
Tonight, we're pitting the independent woman of the '90s.
.
.
against the traditional homemaker of the past.
Please welcome the very motherly, Mrs.
George Bush.
- Go on, girl! - Go on, girl! - [Audience Applauding.]
- Thank you so much.
Please, call me Barbara, Shanaqua.
- Uh, please call me Shawanda, Barbara.
- Hmm? Girl, you are sound, you are strong.
- You are a shining example of womanhood.
- Oh, thank you, Shiitake.
Incidentally, uh, I brought you something.
.
.
an apple pie that I baked myself.
- Mmm! - Go on, girl.
My next guest is the very independent, Miss Hillary Clinton.
[Audience.]
Go on, girl! - [Audience Applauding.]
- Girl, you are bold, you are bad, you are beautiful.
- Welcome, sister.
- Thank you, Shawanda.
It's a pleasure to be here.
I'm sorry I didn't bring anything.
But I'm a partner in a very prestigious law firm.
.
.
and I don't sit around the house baking cookies all day.
[Laughing.]
Well, Shenandoah.
.
.
I'm not going to apologize, really, for believing that being a mother.
.
.
was more important than pursuing some personal, rather selfish, career goals.
Oh, she does have a point.
Perhaps I should stay at home and make sure that my children don't grow up.
.
.
and become savings and loan crooks.
- Or adulterers.
- Excuse me? Well, uh, sister, they say that this horny Gomer Pyle husband of yours.
.
.
did go off and sleep with that other woman.
Now, that's never been proved.
I mean, I know my Bill.
Who doesn't? I trust him.
And I could care less about some allegations made by a desperate woman.
In fact, it means so little to me, I can't even remember this woman's name.
I believe it was Gennifer Flowers, dear.
I hold no grudges against her.
I just want to become First Lady so I can become more involved in the social issues.
I mean, in fact, I've already started a new support group.
It's called Mothers Against Sluts.
Well, this sister is dedicated.
This sister is daring.
This sister is drinking! Ask her about the affair her husband had.
[Chuckles.]
Well, my goodness, Shaka Zulu, that was never confirmed.
That was never confirmed at all.
It was not proven.
It was an allegation made by some very jealous people.
Well, what do you expect? Your husband used to run the C.
I.
A.
I mean, if he can hide missiles under the Ayatollah.
.
.
he can sure as hell hide a few pairs of nasty boxers! Sisters, sisters, please!Now, you are better than this.
You are proud.
You are persevering.
Girl, you a pig! You can't really blame her.
She's just trying to fill in all those wrinkles! Oh, yeah? Well, your daughter's so ugly, Woody Allen wouldn't even touch her! Sisters, please! Now, now, now.
Haven't we suffered enough at the hands of men? We must unshackle ourselves from the vices of the weaker sex.
We must band together and find our true selves.
- Shawanda, you are so right.
- I know.
- This isn't the real me.
- Mm-hmm.
- I hate this dress! - I do too.
- This is the real me.
- Wow! Were you on Hee Haw? No! Dukes of Hazzard.
And I'm not some stuffed corporate type.
I'm a party girl and I wanna rock! - Oh, my! - You've gone a little too far, girl.
You know something, Chaka Khan, I've got something I'd like to tell you too.
I am not who I pretend to be.
They force to me to dress this way.
Oh, now, don't you go on, girl.
They forced me to masquerade as George's mother for too long! I want to live! I want to live! I'm not even fat! I've got an idea.
Let's go to Chippendales.
.
.
and cram some of that campaign support into some jock straps! - Well, all right! - Ar! Ar! Ar! Last one there buys the margaritas.
Whoo-hoo! Now, that's what a domineering man will do for you, sisters.
Now, if Bush and Clinton can't satisfy their own wives.
.
.
what are they gonna do for the rest of the country? Until next time, Go on Girl.
Wait up.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have actually bent the spoon.
.
.
using merely the powers of my incredible mind.
- [Applause.]
- Isn't that wild? Isn't that wild? Now, the Kreskin challenge.
I will give $10,000 to anyone in this room.
.
.
who can duplicate or surpass what I'm doing here tonight.
Is there anybody in the room who is versed.
.
.
in the art of psychic phenomenon? Yo, yo, yo, Kreskin! Let me get in on this challenge, man.
- You want to do this? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You would like to come in here and show us your stuff? - Yeah, yeah.
Let me get on it.
- [Woman.]
Wow! - Isn't that wild? Oh, you poor sucker.
Okay.
What is your name, sir? Uh, my name is The Amazing.
.
.
[Clears Throat.]
uh, Laurent.
The Amazing Laurent.
Well, Laurent, I love a challenge.
You, give me your hand.
[Sniffing.]
I'm sensing.
.
.
I'm sensing that in the last month you've had visitors.
Am I correct? - Yeah, my parents were just here on vacation.
- That's right.
Isn't that wild? All right, all right.
[Blows.]
All right, give me a pound.
All right.
Now, I believe in the past month.
.
.
you was up against a wall assuming the position.
- Yeah, I was pulled over by the police twice.
- Ha ha.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
- I can even tell you exactly what the police said, right? - Right.
- " You fit the description of somebody we lookin' for.
" - Yeah.
- "Step away from the vehicle.
" - Yeah.
- "Sit your butt on the curb.
" - Yeah.
- "Put your hands behind your neck.
" - Yeah.
- "You got any drugs in this car?" - That's what he said.
- "You look like you high on P.
C.
P.
" - Yeah.
- " You been associating with known gang members?" - Hell, yeah.
.
.
- "Wasn't you in the car with Rodney King?" - No, man! That's what he said! That's what he said, dawg! That's what he said, man! Isn't that amusing? [Chuckling.]
Quite amusing.
.
.
indeed.
But not quite an example of psychic phenomenon.
- Watch and learn.
Madam.
- Oh! I sense that during the last year this lady has changed careers.
But she does not like her new job.
Am I correct? Huh? Yes! That's right.
Hey, I do hate my new job.
- Isn't that wild? - That's weak.
Isn't that amazing? Top that, Laurent.
All right, all right.
Uh, I'm sensing in the last year.
.
.
you couldn't find not near no parts of no job, right? That's right, and I was looking too.
Ah! Ah! And I'm also sensing that you would have loved to have that job.
.
.
- that old white lady's over there bitching about.
- In a minute.
Why don't you tell us something more specific about her? Intimate details.
Huh? All right.
Okay.
And I'm also sensing, uh, that.
.
.
- Yo, girl, that a wig? - Hell, no.
All right.
Uh, I'm sensing that, in the last month.
.
.
you, uh, burned up the back of your neck, uh, in the kitchen more than once with a hot comb.
- Damn, if he ain't right! He is good! - Yeah! Ha ha! Through my telekinetic powers.
.
.
I will now read what is inside your purse.
I'm seeing a word.
.
.
"phenomenon.
" No.
Uh, I'm seeing the letters T-W-A.
Do they mean anything to you? Yes.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey! All right! Okay! - Get away from my purse! - You gonna get it back! You gonna get it back! Sit down.
Would you stop that? I'm, uh, sensing some letters.
I'm sensing three letters.

Okay, then.
Well, if you think the voice is milky smooth, wait till you see the whole package.
