"I would say, considering Mrs. Lieberman here, it would be more of a cattail effect"

Tuck and Tiny and Baby take the roles of Joseph Lieberman and friends for Exercise 1 in our quickie video tutorial in preparation for Tuesday night as a Pajamas Media agent at Lieberman headquarters in Haffa, with hats off to Caravaggio. View here.

"We're going to pretend that you are Joe Lieberman and Tiny is Hadassah . . . She seems like a really interesting woman . . . as opposed to Hillary, who is 'Ooh. I can't stand her,'" we tell Tuck in our first test video, "Joseph Lieberman's Cattail Effect" -- now on YouTube-- in preparation for Tuesday evening at The Goodwin Hotel in Hartford for Joey Lieberman's victory lap:

So, Mr. Lieberman, do you think there will be indeed a coattails effect from your victory with, say, Chris Shays and the other Republicans running in your state?

I would say, considering Mrs. Lieberman here, it would be more of a cattail effect.

"This has been such a delight. Thank you very much. You'll probably see this on Pajamas Media."

Update: For more cattail effects and such, head on over to Friday Ark #111 at Steve's Modulator. Then check in at Blog d'Elisson for a miniature masterpiece of the blogger's art of appropriating found objects -- in this case a recent pic of our own Sweet Tiny Pea in the little house -- as blogfodder for his wit:

Tiny, one of the Resident Kitties at sisu, takes shelter from the storm in her own makeshift Ark.

We've added Elisson's awesome email comment, "Tiny and Baby are 'da bomb'" to our Kudos, upper right. Thanks, big guy.
