Or camouflaged under lotus petals on Rose Parade floats just before New Year's. Or shoved in the trunk of that SUV that Britney Spears was hitting with an umbrella. Or maybe piled onto the base of the flaming Burning Man effigy out in the Nevada desert. Hey, if Huckleberry can spew such gibberish, then I sure as heck can too! Gotta admit, gettin' all Huckleberryish with the keyboard at ThinkProgress is fun! It’s also entirely POSSIBLE that the WMDs were hidden under beds in the brothels in Amsterdam.
