Susan Page of USA Today asks, "What do you think of Senator John Edwards?"

I think he's cute as a button. . . .

Nice words about Lou Cannon. I have read his work on Reagan. And by the way Cheney's funny answers were right on. Shows how silly the left really is.

"We have dispatched Dr. David Kay . . . to search for the bio-warfare agents we believe hidden in Senator Kerry's forehead. "

Priceless.

Terry Hunt of AP wants to know, "Has Senator Kerry had Botox treatments?"
Terry, I have some guidance on that from Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz:

"The Administration takes this development seriously. Botox, of course, is related to the botulism toxin, which can be processed into high-grade biological weapons. We have dispatched Dr. David Kay . . . to search for the bio-warfare agents we believe hidden in Senator Kerry's forehead. If Senator Kerry has used botox as part of a wrinkle enrichment program, he is in violation of U.N. Resolution 752. Upon receiving Dr. Kay's report, the weapons of mass destruction that Senator Kerry so adamantly insists do not exist . . . may well be above his very nose."

LoL!!!

I'm guessing it was not because otherwise there would be clips all over the media tonight, and I've seen none. Also, check out the "editor's note" at the header of this thread. Perhaps that too is an indication that it isn't taped.

As is the "cute as a button" remark for Edwards. hehe

Cheney is such a good man. I just can't understand why the left has demonized him so. Same with American Hero Colonel Oliver North. Though I had a liberal friend tell me SHE remembered Iran-Contra and She didn't consider North to be an American Hero.

Well, I'm old enough to remember it, and I consider him to be an American patriot.

Too bad, it sounds hilarious. I wonder what Hillarys face looked like when he made the conspiracy joke. Even she MUST have laughed.

Gridiron show combines hard news, soft shoes

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The serious news — from Saddam Hussein's spider hole to Medicare to gay marriage — served as fodder for song, dance and silly dress-up Saturday night at the Gridiron dinner.

In the most unusual turn of this year's satirical script, syndicated columnist Robert Novak — who sparked a federal investigation by printing the name of an undercover CIA officer — was to take the stage as that CIA officer's disgruntled husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson.

Dressed as Wilson in top hat and cutaway coat, Novak was to sing: “Novak had a secret source … so he outed a girl spy the way princes of darkness do … Now John Ashcroft asks Bob who and how, could be headed to the old hoosegow.”

A federal grand jury is investigating whether someone in the Bush administration leaked the CIA officer's identity, possibly a felony. Novak hadn't commented on the investigation — until the Gridiron, in song.

Founded in 1885, the invitation-only Gridiron Club exists solely for its annual white-tie dinner, attended by Cabinet secretaries, congressional leaders and the like. The show has been visited by every president since Benjamin Harrison, except one: Grover Cleveland.

President Bush spoke at the first three Gridirons of his term, but planned to skip this year's show in favor of a summit at his Texas ranch with Mexican President Vicente Fox.

Gridiron president Al Hunt, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal, spun that into a pun about conservatives' fondness for Fox News Channel: “That pretty much sums up the White House philosophy: Why waste time with newspaper reporters when you can spend quality time with Fox?”

Vice President Dick Cheney agreed to take Bush's place and was scheduled to appear with two New Yorkers considered possible contenders for the 2008 presidential race: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Democrat, and former mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican.

The humor relies heavily on outlandish costumes: Ralph Nader as a skunk at the Democrats' garden party; vegetarian presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich as a giant carrot, and Bush adviser Karl Rove as Oz's Scarecrow, singing about his boss, “If he only had MY brain.”

The “Hallelujah Chorus” became “Halliburton, Halliburton, Halli-i-burton.”
