1. After the break, CNN follows up with probing questions about shoe-size
This is top-notch journalism, that's for sure.

2. Unless they're running to be head of the MPAA, I really don't care.

5. It's somewhat revealing
Clinton is conventional.

Mittens is god soaked.

Giuliani must've been joking. If he wasn't, it's scary.

Edwards must've been joking. If not, it's an interesting choice.

12. Why is it scary?
A lot of people consider "The Godfather" to be one of the greatest films of all time.

15. It's scary because most Italians don't want to be stereotyped
with anything to do with the mob. Citing that as his favorite immediately stereotypes him as a mobster in the alleged mind of the average moron. I think he was kidding.

Personally, I loved the books and hated the movie.
