from Arianna Huffington! That's why the White House helpfully confiscated the notebooks of the 9/11 Commissioners as they were leaving the Oval Office. Hard copies are so 20th century. To see how liberating this kind of updated Democracy can be, look no further than the reports of the frequent laughter that occurred during the Commission's two-birds-with-one-stone questioning of Bush and Cheney. No longer burdened with having to fill the public in on whether our leaders did all they could to prevent 9/11 — and have done all they can to make sure something like it never happens again — the president and his inquisitors were free to trade quips and zingers like a gang of Borsht Belt second bananas at a Friars Roast. "The president got off a couple of good shots," said Commission member John "Shecky" Lehman, while Commissioner Jim "Soupy" Thompson labeled the president a "bit of a tease." We don't know the specifics of anything important that was said, or if anything important was said at all, but, hey, at least they had some fun. For his part, the president stressed the importance of his and Cheney's tandem testimony: "I think it was important for them to see our body language . . . how we work together." Body language experts agree that subtle shifts in physical positioning — such as Cheney sticking his hand up the president's back and making his mouth move — can often provide significant behavioral clues.
