...successor, the President ticked off his list of priorities, domestic and foreign, and spoke at length of Iran, the hostages and the Middle East.

IMAGINE! America's almost favorite pair of comedians (excluding the team of George Bush and Billy Carter) answering your questions, pronouncing your name in print! Ask Cheech! Ask Chong!
