Senator Leahy in Batman Movie

Although, I admit, I’d pay the price of admission to see Leahy in tights. 

Holy Beltway, Batman! Sen. Patrick Leahy has a part in the next Batman movie.

“I don’t wear tights,” the Vermont Democrat said.

Leahy’s scene was filmed this summer for “The Dark Knight” and involves Batman, played by Christian Bale, The Joker, played by Heath Ledger, and Alfred Pennyworth, played by Michael Caine.

The longtime Batman fan would reveal little about his role other than he is called the “distinguished gentleman.”

“It’s a pretty tense scene,” said Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “It’s going to be a very interesting one.”

  1. That’s exactly what I want, the judiciary chairman, taking time out from governing to appear in a movie. Vermont must be brain dead to re-elect this guy.
    How about the hundreds of judicial nominees awaiting approval? An up or down vote is called for in the constitution.
    Think Leaky Leahy might find time to do his job?
    I doubt it, he misses those threesomes in Chappaquidick to much.
    What a joke, and this guy passes as an intellectual for the left? My electrician last week was more intelligent then this guy, yet Vermont continues to elect him?
    Blue America, making communism palatable, you never have to work again, we’ll give you a check.
