Is the suspense killing you? Relax, here at last are the answers to today's Quote of the Day Quiz. Did you fall into the trap?

We asked you to identify the speakers of two quotes regarding the relationship of Iran to the war in Iraq. The correct answers are:

(1) c

(2) b

The easy one was (2), "The invasion of Iraq has had one winner, and that's Iran. It's an enemy that is not going away, but that has nothing to do with the war in Iraq. The war in Iraq has been a distraction and made us weaker." Since this actually makes sense, a simple process of elimination would reduce the possibilities to one: the contender for the Connecticut U.S. Senate seat with a working brain, the Democratic candidate, Ned Lamont.

As for (1), "If we walk away, then the Iranians will--as sure as I am talking to you--surge into Iraq, certainly take over the south and the oil there. We'll be paying six or seven bucks a gallon. And that'll just be the tip of it. I mean, there'll be instability and war throughout the Middle East," don't feel bad if you fell into our cunning trap and answered (a), "a fugitive mental patient whose name had to be withheld on grounds of medical confidentiality."

This was a decoy answer designed to lead you astray! After all, if you tried to work the answer out logically, what else could it be? Not even Clueless Joe "Joe Lieberman Fighting for Joe Lieberman" Lieberman, the man who played such a large role in dragging the country into the catastrophic war in Iraq, could be both that ignorant and that stupid, right?

Well, guess again! It was His Cluelessness, playing a brain-numbing game of "You Listen to My Psychotic Delusion and I'll Listen to Yours" on the radio with his apparent soulmate, Ultra-Right-Wing Radio and TV Cretin Glenn Beck.

We're tempted to offer partial credit to those of you who answered (a), knowing that there was a trick here, and thinking that Ultra-Right-Wing Radio and TV Cretin Glenn Beck might be the "fugitive mental patient" in question. Very creative, but you're perhaps over-thinking our little game. Actually, Ultra-Right-Wing Radio and TV Cretin Glenn Beck was saying stuff like "Why is it there aren't more politicians saying, 'Guys, this is World War III. We are in deep trouble'?" Instead of saying, "Because it's nuts, you loon," we assume Clueless Joe was grinning at his microphone like, well, a fugitive mental patient and trying to one-up his loony interviewer in daffiness.

On the Nuts-o-Meter (pat. pending), as between questioner and questionee, we'd have to rate this pretty much a draw. The only thing is, one of these clowns is currently a member of the U.S. Senate, and even as we speak is shaking his corporate patrons down for zillions of dollars in campaign boodle on the premise that Connecticut voters are stupid enough to be persuaded to return him for another six years.
