In his allotted 30 minutes to quiz Judge Alito, Mr Biden asked just five questions and spoke 3,739 words, leaving the nominee time to respond with just 1,021.

Next place in the verbosity stakes went to Chuck Schumer, who uttered 3,471 words to the nominee's 1,166. Among a cluster of senators vying for third place was Ted Kennedy, who allowed the judge to speak 1,557 words to his own 3,282. I guess someone had to count them which reminds me of a song from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on

This Sargent Pepper sounds like a great poet, has he done anything else?
