I love DeLay's vacuously stupid expression when I closed his mouth for him. He really did rail on and on about the lack of search warrant when it was clear one had been issued, and was quite fond of using the whole Elian Gonzales thing to shoot his mouth off over whatever he thought made him look better.

Leo was chosen for this because at the time, I think, he'd done some news interviews with politicians or at least "serious" movie stars. The punchline here has quite a Tom Tomorrow feel to it, with the deflection and all. I've been a Tom Tomorrow fan for quite some time, even when he trips over the fine line between genius and insanity and gets all ranty. At least he's not a jackass like Ted Rall.
