"...like, sure."

The NY Times is so full of insanity, it is a veritable paradise of content for snark. What with David Brooks stamping his feet and demanding that we stop undermining the splendid work being done in Iraq, and a story on Social Security (which I can't find online...more later) that sends the Times coverage of this subject to new lows.

But this...this is classic.

WASHINGTON, June 22 - David Grosh was living the mellow life of an off-season lifeguard in Rehoboth Beach, Del., when his childhood friend Michael Scanlon called from Washington in 2001 with a proposition.

"Want to be head of an international corporation?" Mr. Grosh said Mr. Scanlon asked him, almost in jest.

"I was like, sure," Mr. Grosh said.

Collecting less than $2,500, he became director of the American International Center, which used his rental beach house as its official address. "I was not really taking it seriously."

Four years later, Mr. Grosh, 36, wearing jeans and sideburns, recounted that tale before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, as part of its inquiry into Jack Abramoff, the high-rolling Republican lobbyist.

Oh, and memo to Karl Rove: fuck you.
