So many dear friends have joined the effort to clothe Jonah, and send a message of sorts to The Donald, that your oddball insults will not go un-oddballed. Hence our limited “Keep Jonah in Pants” webathon (a.k.a. History’s first “Pants-athon”), which asks for solidarity and $25 (about the cost of a decent pair of chinos at Sears). Many have given, sending cash and encouragement. A few selections:
‐Donald (not “The”) sends $100, enough for four pairs, and guffaws “Bet Trump has someone buy his pants, damn sure never been to Walmart.”
‐Brian also sends a Benjamin and a suggestion: “I’m thinking fuchsia capris with cargo pockets.”
‐Ron is all business with his contribution: “Here is a one-time gift of $25.00. And for Mr. Goldberg, please, no polyester slacks!” That’s a protected species now, Ron.
‐Cole sends $25, a mix of cheek, generosity, and dubiousness: “Although I have no proof that Jonah wears pants given all of his profile pictures are suspiciously sans pants, leading me to believe the King of Comb-overs is correct I still think Jonah does fantastic work and would like to help the cause.”
‐Joe drops $25 on NR and matter-of-factly explains: “This is for the Keep Jonah in Pants fund — for obvious reasons.”
‐Rapper/poet Kevin sends his $25 and this lyric “Jonah keeps me in stitches . . . the least I can do is keep him in britches.” A hip, a hop . . . thanks!
‐Marvelous Marvin sends a whopping $250 and exclaims “I want Jonah to have the best pants this will provide for!!!!”
‐And then the glorious Teressa drops $100 on NR and ads this explanation (with a touch of naughty): “I shop at Nordstrom, so there’s no such thing as $25.00 slacks. Here’s $100.00, to keep Jonah in fine chinos! And remind Jonah that we all adore him . . . as he kicks the pants off the left with such style. Trump picked a fight with the wrong guy . . . we’ve got his back, rear, ahem, covered.”
