Patton Oswalt Waving His Little Fetus Arms Around

We watched a couple of episodes of Root of All Evil, Comedy Central's obnoxiously promoted Lewis Black vehicle for shooting fish in a barrel. It was actually not bad. The two things that will stay with us:
  • The description in the title, said by the otherwise-not-that-funny Greg Giraldo in reference to the short and fat but funny Mr. Oswalt.
  • Patton Oswalt's description of how easy it was to win his case, given that he had Dick Cheney and Giraldo had Paris Hilton, "it wasn't fair, I had the Glengarry leads on this one."
Why I haven't used "having the Glengarry leads" as shorthand for having a huge built in advantage before is beyond me.
