The Best Line of Last Evening's World News Tonight

...went to Charlie Gibson, hands down. In the lead-in for this story...

D.C. law judge broke down in tears and had to take a break from his testimony because he became too emotional while questioning himself about his experience with a missing pair of pants.

...(a $54 MILLION dollar pair of pants), he explained the lost pants and that the dry cleaners eventually found the pants, offering them plus $12,000 to this emotional, pantless person to settle things. But all for naught, Charlie intoned, as said plaintiff was still intent on...
"...pressing his suit."

major dad groaned audibly. Huzzah, Charlie!

Well, hopefully this whole ridiculous suit will be ironed out soon.

One bizarre wrinkle after another in the case.

If I were the judge I'd dismiss the whole thing, award the defendants their legal fees, and slap the plaintiff with a crease and desist order on top of that.

Time to hang up this suit!

Not until we've collared the guilty party.

"he became too emotional while questioning himself about his experience with a missing pair of pants."

I guess he was feeling hemmed in.

On the other hand, it leaves some people in stitches.

This judge is a pantload, in any case.

Listen to all that hemming and hawing.
