I’m tryin’ – I’m really tryin’ – but I can’t make myself surprised

And now, for today’s “Holy the Fuck, What Were They Thinking?” story – politically speaking, of course; but with a windup like that, you knew it had to be – we have this from the NYT.

Times like this, I miss Sam Ervin.  Remember Watergate, and Sen. Ervin’s frequent interruptions of “Now wait, wait – wait a minute here!  Lemme see if I unnerstand exackly whut you are sayin’!”  Nowadays, we just shorten it to “WTF?”, which has the advantage of brevity, but I do believe Senator Ervin put it with more eloquence.
