Howard Sprague reincarnated
Close your eyes. Turn on the gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Roberts Confirmation hearings. Wait for Senator Arlen Specter to speak. Then listen to the mellifulous voice of Howard Sprague, the kindly city clerk from the old Andy Griffith Show, and let it take you back to Mayberry days, when such vexing issues as Plessy vs. Ferguson did not override problems such as whether Goober was clinically insane or not. Don't pay attention to the words of Sen. Specter. Just let the timbre of his (and Howard's) voice wash over you. There now. See? Isn't that better than listening (and watching) Kennedy, Schumer, Biden et al badger Judge Roberts?

So, was Goober insane or was it Gomer?
Goober. Gomer was just slow.
Was it Gomer or Goober who was supposed to have married Rock Hudson? Or Ernest T. Bass?
Not sure, Slampo, but my guess would be Floyd. Or that heavyset mayor.
