Apparently Dick Cheney brought down the house at the satirical Gridiron Club Dinner recently, often in response to questions purportedly asked by well-known members of the Washington press corps.
Lots of familiar faces here tonight. I always feel a genuine bond whenever I see Senator Clinton. She's the only person who's the center of more conspiracy theories than I am.Posted by Alan at March 11, 2004 05:39 AMDave Broder: "How would you accurately describe your role in this administration? Be honest." I would say that I am a dark, insidious force pushing Bush toward war and confrontation. . . .
Susan Page of USA Today asks, "What do you think of Senator John Edwards?" I think he's cute as a button. . . .
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."
