For Want Of A Tail...

From the WSJ.com, Taranto reports:

Heads or Tails?
"The tail of the disabled Navy chopper left behind in the Usama bin Laden raid in Pakistan will be handed back to the United States sometime Tuesday, U.S. Sen. John Kerry announced Monday during a trip to Islamabad," FoxNews.com reports.

But the story leaves out the crucial detail, namely what the haughty, French-looking former junior senator from Massachusetts, who by the way served in Vietnam, had to give up to get the tail.

Does he still have the hat?

The jokes just write themselves, don't they? I mean if we wanted to send someone to Pakistan for a piece of tail, shouldn't it have been Bill Clinton? And yes, we know some men will give a lot for such a prize...

O.K. I'll quit it. For the moment.
