   “Ladies and gentlemen of the Committee, I’m just a cavewoman. I fell on some ice and was later thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes when I fly to Europe on the Concorde, I wonder, am I inside some sort of giant bird? Am I going to be digested? I don’t know, because I’m a cavewoman, and that’s the way I think!

   “When I’m courtside at a Knicks game, I wonder if the ball is some sort of food they’re fighting over. When I see my image on the security camera at the country club, I wonder, are they stealing my soul? I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover, and run across the fairway to to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those appletinis he’s so famous for, to soothe my primitive cavewoman brain.

   “But whatever world you’re from, I do know one thing: forcing the Jesuits to provide rubbers and Morning-After Pills to easy Elementary Education coeds isn’t just legal — it’s good medicine and good politics. And, for that reason, I ask that you find this requirement… Constitutional. Thank you.”

   It’s a good thing you’ve got high-powered connections to keep you in The 1%, Madame Secretary, because based on your raw qualifications, you’d be declared too incompetent to wipe your own … nose.

   I, Kathleen Sibelius, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter; so help me God.

   “Congressman, I’m not a lawyer and I don’t pretend to understand the nuances of the Constitutional balancing tests… I’m not going to wade into Constitutional law…”

   “No, really, Congressman — I talked to like bunches of lawyers and they all said it was okay!”

   I just love a good cross-examination. Nothing like leaving a witness in a puddle of flop sweat.
