		<description><![CDATA[<p>Here are some lines from last night's birthday roast of United Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, who turns 50 on December 18:  </p>
<p>“I’m sure many people have gotten you Depends and other things like that, so get used to it.” -- Bill Thompson</p>
<p>  “I do remember, and will always remember, that you left me, for Joel [Klein].” -- Former Schools Chancellor Rudy Crew</p>
<p>  “She runs through relationships like she runs through her staff directors.” -- Finance Commissioner Martha Stark</p>
<p> “Lets examine Randi’s name. Now in England, randy is a synonym for horny. And we know Randi loves Jack Daniels. So, her name should really be Horny WhiskeyGarden.” -- Tom Drumgole </p>
<p> “Speaking of perplexing, since most of us think of Randi as our captain of labor who goes toe to toe with mayors and governors, I was trying to figure out why Randi endorsed Governor Pataki in 2002. So tonight, I figured it out. In the Hamptons, the only thing in tow with Randi is her cocktail, a cosmopolitan, and a bikini...sometimes. So, you might think she supported the governor because of the Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit . Now I know it must have been those pictures, with the sometimes in the bikini. But that must also explain why I’m not state comptroller.” -- Martha Stark</p>
<p>  Other highlights:</p>
<p> While looking for his coat check ticket, David Yassky jokingly asking Christine Quinn if she could “pull some strings” and help him get it back. </p>
<p> New York A.C.O.R.N. director Bertha Lewis greeting Bill Thompson with a hug and a kiss, calling him, for some reason, “T-bone.” </p>
