6. I remember that Star Trek episode...

:) One of those excursions "back" to 20th-century Earth.

[waiting for hope]

2. He lost the hearing

in that ear due to an injury I think. And yes, he is perfect. I could watch the White House Press Corp dinner with him over and over again.

11. According to the article in the recent issue of Rolling Stone,

He had a tumor when he was young that had to be operated on. This did indeed leave him deaf in one ear, and I'm assuming that's also why his ears don't match.

In any event, he is a funny, insightful guy...

5. This thread needs pictures

[El Supremo]

7. I wish he'd go to a plastic surgeon.

Whenever I watch him I'm distracted by his mismatched ears.

8. Those ears are perfect. They totally complete the character.

[trof]

9. Yes, but we don't call attention to it.

He mentioned them during one of his early shows--apparently people had written to him. and I've never really noticed them since!
