Reader Jeff Patterson points to one of the more frightening things I've seen recently: the musical stylings of Sen. Orrin Hatch. I'm tempted to order a couple of CDs… I've always wondered whether it's actually possible for the brain to rip itself free of the skull in self defense.

    Can Hatch help Ashcroft's singing abilities???

    http://www.cnn.com/video/us/2002/02/25/ashcroft.sings.wbtv.med.html

    It's not all that bad. I mean, it sounds like a car commercial, but it's way better than John Ashcroft.

    More noteworthy than the music is the fact that the RealAudio files aren't streamed. The links are to the .ra files, which means you can download them. Is this a trap?

  3. Brady   22 years ago

    haha, good point Mike. I hope he doesn't mount an attack on our PCs! or perhaps the music itself was the attack?

  4. Eric D. Dixon   22 years ago

    Hatch's CDs may soon be the subject of scandal:

    "As he was seeking political favors, a friend of Sen. Orrin Hatch bought a whopping 1,200 copies of Hatch's largely self-produced music CDs, for which Hatch receives $3 to $7 each."

    i think we've found our weapons of mass destruction, boys.

    it's almost too awful to sample. hatch remixed, anyone?

    DJ Hatch and the Slyck Congressional Pymps present "Freedom of Screech."
