Expectorating Mullahs
Viewers of Britt Hume's Fox News show, Special Report, are familiar with the short bits of video humor that are shown in the last minute of the show. These are usually borrowed from Letterman or Leno or Saturday Night Live.
Last night was exceptionally funny. Picture three turbaned mullahs sitting around a table drinking; on a television screen in front of them is President Bush, speaking this week in Europe.
"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous."
At this by-now familiar comment by Bush, the mullahs are clinking their cups, toasting their good fortune, and throwing back their favorite beverage.
Then,
"Having said that, all options are on the table."
Upon hearing this the mullahs simultaneously blow their yet-unswallowed drinks out.
Riotously funny. Even the stoic Charles Krauthammer was in stitches.
