What motivates Senator Patrick Leahy? Money? Sex? Sex for money? Public service or whatever? No. No. No. It is Batman, and only the Batman, that gives Pat Leahy the will to live, in Washington. He was briefly seen (but not heard) in the Batman and Robin movie of a few years ago — the one with George Clooney’s chilly nipples. And last August, we reported that Leahy was set for a speaking role in The Dark Knight. See the exclusive & terrifying video, after the jump.
Our big idea, last year, was that Leahy would take over the role of The Joker, as played by the late Frank Gorshin. Were we so wrong?
Ha ha, Pat Leahy is Heath Ledger’s father! (PS — Yes, we know Gorshin played the Riddler. Thanks for continuing to kill comedy, people.)

Are Clooney’s nipples capable of solving poverty, curing cancer, or both? These are the pressing questions.
That video reminds me to pick up my Ambien, OxyContin, Xanax, Demerol, and Percocet prescriptions from the drugstore this afternnon.
Frank Gorshin was The Riddler.

Leahy is kick ass… he’s also a dead head… how great would it be to get stoned with him?
Wow! Senator Leahy reminds ME of something I hate too!
Holy crap, Caesar Romero is still alive? I see he finally shaved off his ‘stache for the role.
[re=33962]Larry Fine[/re]: Don’t forget to share them at the Ptard march tomorrow!
is this the part of the movie where the Wonktards meet the Paultards?….
Ha! Sad to say, but I don’t think Leahey was acting there!
Oh, this was from Batman? I thought it was a shot from the Leahy-Cheney dustup.
[re=33951]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Clooney’s nipples are capable of
cutting glass on a cold day. There’s a nip in the air, oh, make that two nips.
[re=34103]sanantonerose[/re]: Exactly. How did they miss the greatest chance for a “Go fuck yourself” ever?
You can get irishmen to do anything if you offer them a shot of cheap whiskey. That’s how I proposed.
My economics teacher was at this charity event fifteen years ago, and Frank Gorshin was a speaker there. At one point my teacher goes into the bathroom, to a urinal, and Frank Gorshin comes in a moment later. My teacher is quite excited, so he takes his time washing his hands waiting to say something. When Frank finishes and walks up to the sink, my teacher starts gushing and telling him how much of a fan he is. He says “You were great as The Joker!”. Frank Gorshin doesn’t say anything, but turns and grabs paper towels. He dries his hands in silence until he finally looks up and replies “I was The Riddler, you asshole”. He then turns and walks out the door.
hey, listen. i watched that twice.
i did not ah, see any nipples.
maybe a bitty asshole, tho.
still, imagine how many takes…

[re=34648]Cathangover[/re]: Ha! That is sad, and tragic, and another reason why actors should be dipped in boiling pig fat.
Then again, Cesar Romero pretty much defines the Joker.
Good thing the Amerithrax investigation is coming to a prompt and timely conclusion as to who attempted to kill Leahy in 1991.
