Yet another reason to look quizzically at professional gladhand Trent Lott.
Although for me, his hair—which appears to have burbled like pitch up through his follicles before hardening just slightly askew—was already plenty.

update: from the archives, here’s my 2004 interview with Senator Kennedy.
For some reason, whenever I read the word “Senate,” my mind translates it as “Augean Stables.” Can anyone explain this to me?
Because it would be improved by having a river run through it?
I mean, of course, so long as it were in session at the time.
The only guidance people should get from Sen. Kennedy is how to make a martini, how to trample on a family legacy, where you can find hats for oversized craniums, and how to survive past 50 with a liver the size of Rhode Island.
”…guard your wallet” is what I would have said.
When it comes to driving, when you are dealing with Sen. Kennedy, you had better brush up on your swimming lessons.
Unless it’s actually Representative Kennedy, in which case make sure you buckle your seatbelt and wear a helmet…
Jeff – Thank you for linking to that. As I have stated previously, the interview with Sen. Cranium is priceless.
A “fleshy, magnificent anvil with ears”
“skin covered beerkeg”
The section about pie in the land of the Big-Headed people …
Oh hell, the whole interview is brilliant.
Stuart Mackenzie: Look at the size of that boy’s heed.
Tony Giardino: Shhh!
Stuart Mackenzie: I’m not kidding, it’s like an orange on a toothpick.
Tony Giardino: Shhh, you’re going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, that’s a huge noggin. That’s a virtual planetoid.
Tony Giardino: Shh!
Stuart Mackenzie: Has it’s own weather system.
Tony Giardino: Sh, sh, shh.
Stuart Mackenzie: HEAD! MOVE!
Every time I watch Jimmy Neutron with my daughter, I think about this interview.
One of the great lines in the history of the intertubes.
Oh
my
god!
There is an old Harley saying that “there is no replacemnt for displacement”. Senator Anvilhead is obviously the exception to this rule, showing that increasing the cc’s does not necessarily increase power.
Senator, that is an excellent idea.
To think that the old-school progressives thought direct election would make the Senate better . . . talk about your unintended consequences.
P.S. I LOVE “So I Married An Axe Murderer!”
P.S. Why isn’t the Kennedy interview by itself up on the Greatest Hits? It’s pure comedy goodness.
You know what you should do, Jeff: Publish a PW GH book.
Don’t thank me. Just give me 1% if you actually do it.
The only thing that keeps Kennedy from being the dumbest member of the Senate is the existence of Patty Murray.
Who wants to bet that Trent Lott’s toupee came from Wal-Mart?
