Funny: New York Post Sends In the Clown

Subject: Funny: New York Post Sends In the Clown Mon Aug 03, 2009 3:49 am

The New York Post made the phrase “media circus” literal when it hired a clown to roam the corridors of the New York State Capitol.

Sending in the clown, a playful attempt by The Post to satirize the political power struggle that paralyzed the government for more than a month, was part of several days of circus-themed coverage in June that offered readers some of the paper’s more creative headline writing and photo illustrations. (Think clown faces superimposed on senators’ bodies and headlines that used words like “bozo” liberally.)

“I’m the envy of all the clowns,” Ms. Adams said with a laugh, adding that people had written to her through her Web site, sunnytheclown.net, asking her to send them autographed copies of the June 11 edition of The Post, which featured a picture of her being ordered out of the Senate lobby by a sergeant at arms.
