1. The BEST comment

from the youtube comments,

"Tip: Don't say "War And Peace" is your favorite book, then quote the opening line of "A Tale of Two Cities"

3. That was hilarious -- War and Peace and then best of times, worst of times.

Oh, my, my, my.

Q: Why are the Republicans reading the Constitution on the House floor on the first day of proceedings?

A: Because they don't know how to read silently.

9. LOL!

6. Dickens --- Tolstoy: Doesn't Everyone Confuse the Two??????

What a group of idiots!

:rofl:

10. Exactly!

They open their mouths
and insert their feet!

13. Watch the expression on the face of Tucker Carlson (I think that is Tucker Carlson)

as he, too, suppresses a laugh.

If Tucker Carlson were an honest man, he would have said something right then and there. Goes to show you.

7. I laughed so hard when he said that

I'm picturing him with a monocle and a cigar and a glass of brandy, all, "Oh, yes, I just love classic literature. I'll never forget those immortal opening words of War and Peace." Hilarious.

War and Peace is that big thick one, right? That's my favorite one, the really, really big one.

11. LOL!

It was priceless!

2. Favorite "bar"? Shows that Repukes don't listen.

One lady interprets the question as, what is your favorite bar.

[BetterThanNoSN]

5. Um...

Didn't listen is quite an understatement. The guy answered 'Reagan Diaries', is there a DC bar named Reagan Diaries? Bzzzzzz, sorry, you're disqualified ma'am for not being present.

[progressoid]

4. Wow

Just, wow.

[KansDem]

8. What? No "I read everything" from these Repubs?

Must not be taking cues from Sister Sarah...

12. I guess I'd be in trouble here because I cannot narrow down to "my favorite" book.

I could answer who my favorite authors are. I could tell what books had a profound impact on me. But my favorite book? I figured out a couple of nights ago that I have read somewhere in the neighbor hood of 35,000 plus plus books in my life. A "favorite" from all of those is just impossible to pick out.
