“We want to determine whether he understands the inherent limits that make an unelected Judiciary inferior to Congress or the President in making policy judgments.

“Do you remember the classic example of chutzpah? It's the young man who kills his parents and then asks the judge for mercy on the grounds that he's an orphan. The Bush administration's updated version of that was starting a wholly illegal, immoral, and devastating war and then dismissing all kinds of criticism of its action on the grounds that 'we're at war.” MenKindWarActionRememberYoungAsksParentExampleJudgingCriticismMercyStartingVersionsAll KindsAdministrationYoung ManClassicIllegalImmoralOrphan Book:America's Deadliest Export: Democracy – The Truth about US Foreign Policy and Everything Else Source: America's Deadliest Export: Democracy – The Truth about US Foreign Policy and Everything Else

“One of my favorite sketches, and a popular comedy formula, is to put someone with a mental handicap in some kind of unlikely situation. For example: The retarded gynecologist, the retarded Jesus, the retarded Osama Bin Laden. It works. It's funny. Inappropriate? I dunno.
