KRAUTHAMMER: But why didn't they? He asked a question: why didn't they? TOTENBERG: Don't make me the spokesman for the White House. Geez, I don't know. KRAUTHAMMER: What would be new about that? |

#2  Krauthammer is smarter than 99 percent of the people on the planet. I'd just probably kneel before Zod. But as someone who does stand-up comedy (once a month), I would say that's the best takedown in politics since William F. Buckley said to Gary Hart in a PBS debate - "don't this embarrass you? Does ANYTHING embarrass you?" Hart turned white. I loves me a good roasting on the open flame. |
