Dept. of Humorously Bad Ideas.

Hugh Hewitt:

So there's going to be a Commission on the financial meltdown, and it is stacked 6-4 (unlike the 9/11 Commission which was evenly split.

No doubt the GOP will nominate very polite, very ineffective members who will hire very polite, very ineffective lead counsels. Thus it has ever been and so it will be again.

I nominate myself for the Commission. Unlike almost every other Commission member in the history of Commissions, I know how to ask a series of questions, and to ask again and again until they are answered.

Why are you laughing? Oh, right. Here's a recent grilling:

HH: I am joined now by National Review’s Andrew McCarthy. He’s a senior fellow at the National Review Institute and the author of Willful Blindness: A Memoir Of The Jihad, has been a guest on the show a number of times. Andy, welcome back, good to have you.

AM: Hugh, great to be here, how are you?

HH: I’m great. Have you read Lowry’s new book yet? I think you’re part of the bio on O’Hanlon, the prosecutor in that.

AM: Well, because of you, I haven’t yet read it, but it have post-its all over it.

A Grand Inquisitor, that guy.
