Carlos Lee tackles Deepwater Horizon

[Bench]

Lame but nevertheless mildly amusing.

The best line:  “This seems a bit pie-in-the-sky to me, no pun intended,” said Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M. “I mean, I know that Carlos is a big guy, but he can hardly be big enough to -- Oh my God, is that a picture of him? Wow, he has put on weight. Damn. I’m surprised he can even run the bases. Actually, judging from his batting average in the report I was given on him, the issue of baserunning hasn’t really come up yet.”

I liked it.

ETA:  Forwarded the link to my boss, who's comment was "Briiliant idea. If it doesn't work they should throw that worthles (sic) lanky tosser on top."  I can only assume that (1) he is in as cheery a mood as usual; and (b) he means Gunther.
