I'm really trying hard to be a well-informed conservative, but I've found nothing in Rush Limbaugh's website about these hearings. I thought he was suppose to be America's anchorman & combat the drive-by media?
Maybe switching from bongwater to cigars hasn't improved my slow speed.

Members of the Senate, I implore you.
Gonzo should have taken a cue from Sen. McCain (see "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran")
Give just a little more time

It's the first photo of him I have seen without a smirk on his face.

Dubya, Darth, Gonzo and rest of the Administration are walking around with a collective "kick me" sign on their behinds and a bag on their heads.
The truly clueless.

And this is the best that he could do after HOURS OF PREPARATION COACHING before he gave his testimony.
Send this idiot back to whatever village he came from in Texas.

His ‘preparation’ obviously was to be shown how to fall on his sword, with the promise by his handlers that they would do their best to resuscitate him.

KB,
This is the best one without a doubt. The Soparanos, Sil, making jokes about guys trying to get 'out' of the business. Hilarious.
Actually, these are some of the best. Jethro, DZ, nice.
Any way, it won't make me stop;

Thx C Mo. Your Anthony Newley (or whoever it was) cracked me up. Loved Tony's "8 Ball" too.

KB,
Hey, the Tony Newley guy made my 'worst 10 list' you know where!
He was, however, a likable, funny Brit that appeared on Johnny a lifetime ago, and a pretty good actor, too, but his singing style was a vomit inducing mixture of smarm and sickly sweet bravado. EEEECCCHHHH!
