“Laugh In” episode on C-Span today

The brief, and I do mean brief, hearing was titled “U.S. Troop levels and Strategy in Afghanistan”. It concluded a few minutes before 1:00 P.M. with apologies from the committee chair.

Sen. Mark Udal to VP Clinton:
(Paraphrased) Who is going to be in charge of this surge?
Clinton: It is undetermined at this point. (Translation: How’n tuh hell do I know!)

Sen. Susan Collins to Sec. Gates:
(Paraphrased) Why concentrate all out troops and treasury on Afghanistan when the cousins Al Quada and Taliban have taken root in 20 other countries?
Sec. Gates: Their Mother Ship is in Afghanistan.
Sen. Collins: (Gloating!) What a wonderful answer.

As always,
BB
