Aahhh, the Hill-Billy Party . . .
[Dhimmo] Convention officials wanted nothing to do with the dicey issue. ``We're not responsible for putting port-a-potties all throughout the city,'' said Karen Grant, spokeswoman for Boston 2004, the convention's host committee.
Make up your own pee-pee jokes -- there's a million of 'em.
