"I felt like Marilyn Munster."

Better than Herman, we guess

U.S. Rep. Brad Miller felt a little out of place at a recent Judiciary committee hearing.

The Raleigh Democrat was one of several witnesses who testified in late July at a hearing on whether George W. Bush had exceeded his constitutional authority.

Speaking to reporters today, Miller said that the legal questions he raised were overshadowed by former Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's talk of impeachment.

Other witnesses included Washington lawyer Bruce Fein, who has written a play about impeaching Bush, and Vincent Bugliosi, author of "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder."

Miller said he was reminded of a TV character from long ago known for being the one normal person in a weird family — and shunned for it.

"I felt like Marilyn Munster," he said.
