A little while ago, we linked to a story in which conservative pundit Glenn Beck attempted to justify the egregious atrocities inflicted on the Constitution by George W. Bush by way of comparing his actions to those of a comic book character in the wildly popular and awesomely awesome movie The Dark Knight. (And, no, not The Joker.)

Well, Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy -- who happens to be a huge Batman fan and actually has a bit role in The Dark Knight as a guy who supposedly looks like The Joker's father -- has responded to Glenn Beck's very-well-thought-out argument...

Sorry Glenn but that's not just a stretch, it's a hoot. But I do grant the parallels between Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor and the Vice President.

Hear that? It's a "hoot." Vermont representatives don't get much more scathing than that.

I'm not sure about that Lex Luthor comparison, though. I think I would'a gone with Darkseid.

And, for Bush, I've have gone with Gleek.
