A QUESTION FOR THE THREAD

CR,

Thanks for the Keynes quote. One of my favorites, which he used in rebuttal to a journalist who was harassing Keynes about an apparent policy flip-flop (are you listening American Spirit?) was to rebuke the man by saying:

"When the facts are unclear, I keep an open mind. What do you do, sir?"

***
Now, the facts are unclear about how we should characterize George and Dick's Most Excellent Adventure in front of the Not-So-Keen Kean Commission.

Some have suggested that we should satirize them with cartoons depicting them as Charley McCarthy and Edgar Bergen. Others have thought that a revival of the Tweedledee and Tweedledum image from Alice-In-Wonderland would be more appropriate. What do all of you think?

Personally, I favor the wooden dummy scenario, sort of demoting Little Lord Fauntleroy from his vaunted status in this image:
