Oh Noes! 'LAT' Stifles Funny Choire Line!

Tasty former Gawker chief and current New York Observer scribe Choire Sicha did his best to squeeze something interesting out of Saved by the Bell person Elizabeth Berkley in a freelance interview for The Los Angeles Times, but his editors were having none of it. Choire says on his website that they cut this bit from the piece.
Me: Where are you shortsighted? Are you bad at, uh, tax time?
Elizabeth Berkley: I dunno! Aren't we talking about the projects I'm doing or no?
To be fair, the editors did leave in "questions" like this one: "All the dancers I know live off cigarettes and Diet Coke and sometimes crystal meth." [ChoireSicha / LAT]
