This afternoon's Judiciary hearing featured the following exchange:

Rep. Linda Sanchez: Are you aware that one month before [Debra] Yang resigned her post, White House Counsel Harriet Miers had asked Kyle Sampson if Ms. Yang planned to keep her post, or if, in Mr. Sampson's words to our investigators, "whether a vacancy could be created there in Los Angeles"? Were you aware of that?

[Pause]

Alberto Gonzalez: I think I'm... I think I may be aware of that.

It was such a ridiculous answer that he made himself laugh. I love it.
