Heh, Jon Stewart included the bit when she clarified that any media that were put in front of her, she read, and, of course, had a field day with it. Me? I'm wondering what happens if you put porn in front of her.

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole.
Since I never head this I'm going to do something I'll probably regret and google that. I presume part of it makes fun of the fact that most of the women in his life did in fact consider him an asshole? "Asshole" and "Genius" unfortunately not being incompatible.
