Hatch mystery
UPDATED...Comedy Central's Indecision 2008 blog reports a strange mark on Sen. Orrin Hatch's head:
Beyond the most obvious question -- "Wait, Orrin Hatch is still alive?" -- you're probably wondering about the Senator's unusual fashion accessory: The giant red splotch on the side of his head!CCI2008 asks readers to speculate on the origin of the red mark. Meanwhile, they offer their own suggestions:
Hatch is returning home from a Mikhail Gorbachev look-a-like contest (which he lost to Larry Craig).My guess? An overdose of a synthetic monkey pituitary gland supplement manufactured at a secret lab in Spanish Fork.
He's trying to introduce bindis to the Mormon faith.
He stepped on a rake deftly planted by Senate prankster Russ Feingold, D-Wis.
Update and mystery solved (maybe): My colleague Tommy Burr tells me that the Trib's D.C. bureau already reported that Hatch was grappling with gravity while "walking" and bumped the ol' coconut. Frankly, that's got to be the least flattering excuse of all.

So Warchol's fishwrap trash column has sunk to making fun of a senator's looks.
So glad this is on the front page of the trib.com
Guess the marketing brains at the trib know some people can't avoid a train wreck and will click if the link is there.

Apparently so. You clicked the link, didn't you, Anonymous?
How dare you disparage this poor old crazed, out-of-touch, can't-navigate-a-hallway senior citizen!
I have been wrong all along. I love the Republicans, especially Hatch. Could someone please send LDS missionaries to my home?
McCain & Romney 2008!!!
In detox we called it curb rash.
Wow you really got me there.
Or did I get me there. I'm anonymous and delusional talking to myself.
Hatch, you truly need to retire!!!
Someone beat him with his own copy of the Exorcist.
