Dubya and Homer Simpson

They construct questions of bewilderment the same way. First, Dubya, after forbidding the Washington Post interviewers from saying the word "privatization" about his Social Security privatization plan:

The Post: You used partial privatization yourself last year, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes?
The Post: Yes, three times in one sentence. We had to figure this out, because we're in an argument with the RNC [Republican National Committee] about how we should actually word this. [Post staff writer] Mike Allen, the industrious Mike Allen, found it.
THE PRESIDENT: Allen did what now?

And Homer, in the episode where, inter alia, a pile of sugar in his yard turns out to be immensely valuable, briefly:

The beekeepers track their bees down to Homer's sugar pile.

Beekeeper 1: Well, very clever, Simpson, luring our bees to your sugar pile and selling them back to us at an inflated price.
Homer: Bees are on the what now?
Beekeeper 2: Simpson, you diabolical...we're willing to pay you $2000 for the swarm. [starts counting money]
Homer: Deal!
