...long hair and a beard and began doing different kinds of material - about drugs and Vietnam and America's uptight attitude toward language and sex. Fans of the old George Carlin weren't ready for it. Carlin got thrown out of Las Vegas twice for material that today would seem tame (one offending routine was about his own "skinny ass"). At the Playboy Club in Lake Geneva, Wis., he so riled up a conservative crowd with his jokes about Vietnam that he nearly caused an audience riot. Even Johnny Carson banned him as a Tonight Show guest for a time...

It appears they are hoping that the White House will do something stupid, like try to stop McClellan from testifying. Democrats tried to spook the White House by inflating the potential value of McClellan's testimony. McClellan himself hired the high-profile husband-and-wife legal team of Michael and Jane Tigar to defend him in case the Administration does try to play hardball. The Tigars specialize in defending unpopular clients - from accused Nazi...
