Commission to investigate 9-11:

This is all we have to say about the appointment of Henry Kissinger as chairman:

Not our first choice.

TRIVIA FANS: That line is inspired by a comment James Baker made in 1988. When first informed that George H. W. Bush had selected Dan Quayle as his running mate, an obviously peeved Baker said this: "He's not my first choice."    We've always liked that way of expressing an opinion.
