Somebody's lookin' thinner. Somebody's got every hair in place. Somebody's spent just a bit too much time in the makeup chair. (Whoever the makeup-artist was must have done a real sales job on that self-tanner.) Yep, Hugh Hewitt took a day off from the radio gig to tape as the lead guest on Dennis Miller's CNBC show. Of course he was just there to continue the promotional blitz for his new critically important book. But wasn't the timing just felicitous for Sandy Berg(L)er's* Trouser-gate** scandal to break this same day? Hugh and Dennis were good together. You owe it to yourself to catch a replay later tonight.
This is probably a good time to mention how often RobbL Monkey has suggested that Hugh get a recurring gig on DM's Varsity Panel. Alas, today's logistics have confirmed my thoughts: Hugh's and Dennis's shows tape at the same time.
Aside: Lawrence O'Donnell just said on the show that he doesn't think they'll be able to make the "willful" part of any charge stick against Berger. Not willful? NOT WILLFUL? How is sticking papers in your pants inadvertent? HOW? [a few minutes pass] Now O'Donnell is embarrassing himself supporting the overreaction to Arnold's girlie-man quip.
*First seen on Wizbang. Corny? Yep. But it keeps cracking me up.
**Yes, I know Ben wants to coin "Pants-gate." Pants is a funny word. Pants, pants, pants. But phonetically, I think Trouser-gate flows better. Two syllables always go before -gate better than one.
