Rehab doesn’t seem to be working for any of the young starlets. What would you suggest as an alternative?
Those girls deserve a spanking. While wearing a Catholic-school uniform.

True or false: Alberto Gonzales is a big, fat liar?
I invoke executive privilege on that question. I don’t have to answer it. I invoke the Harriet Miers defense on that one.
