(By the way, if you find a better looking woman in the entire &lt;i&gt;state&lt;/i&gt; of New York, please let us know.) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;As you&amp;#39;ve probably surmised from our headline, Jamie is not like other girls... except she is, in every way except on her birth certificate...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Clayton was indeed born male, with a schlong she wanted no part with, and when she was finally about to obtain the necessary funds (some 15 g&amp;#39;s), a doctor gave her a vagina so real and perfect, she&amp;#39;s able to orgasm like so many natural-born women wish they could. Of course, even a woman this beautiful and spectacularly self-assured (why are there so few single women in New York City who have self-confidence without coming off snotty?):&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;“I remember a very specific moment when we were literally in the
middle of having sex and he asked me if I was in love with him. I had
just broken up with [the photographer] shortly before, and I was like,
‘Why are you asking me that right now?’ And he said he knew that I
liked him a lot, and that we got along really well, and he thought I
was falling in love with him. So I said to him, ‘Are you in love with
me?’ And his response was, ‘I can’t be in love with you.’ And I
literally got up and put my clothes on and left and never spoke to him
again.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Shazam!

At Sundance, it was the independent film roster, shown by their makers and a skeleton crew from the cast and production. At Comic Con, it used to be the fans meeting their heroes and that was that. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Now, they&amp;#39;ve both turned into little more than corporate mega-productions, advertising the next year&amp;#39;s slate of garbage.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Thankfully, we have Triump the Insult Comic Dog to save us. Although he can often be a mean little bastard (or, shall we say, Robert Smigel can be a mean little bastard), Triumph is always worth checking out. Apparently, NBC.com has the full video of the speech seen towards the end of this clip.
