Thank you Dr. Pat....
Yes... remember that great flick now! Thanks. You're right, they were both Nicholsen's lines I think. Either way, Kelly Ripa may need to have her head examined by Dr. Howard Dean. :)

"Can't you see it now? Cheney saying, 'You need me on that wall! You need me on that wall!' And me saying, 'You can't handle the truth!'" --Sen. John Edwards, after "Regis & Kelly" host Kelly Ripa suggested Tom Cruise could play Edwards in a movie of the 2004 campaign,
[ Sorry... We did not see that movie, Johnnie. Someone out there get that one?]
These are both quotes from A Few Good Men with Cheney channeling Jack Nicholsen about the Marine presence at Gitmo, then Edwards parroting Nicholsen's line about the cover-up.
Seems appropriate. (Although neither line was said by Tom Cruise.)
