edit:  Michelle I am not sure I like what you're wearing.  Your girls, on the other hand, are adorable.

George looks nervous.

Cheny had an accident?  That is sad.

Also way to preempt the media by suggesting the Strangelove similarities, Tom (at least I think that's Tom?  I'm feeling very soothed--watching on MSNBC, btws).

son of edit:  OH MY GOD HE DOES LOOK LIKE STRANGELOVE HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT.

okay Michelle it's green, not yellow.

dude I think the girls might have gotten more applause than he is.  It could just be the microphone.

daughter of edit:  OH MY GOD THERE HE IS sometimes I scare myself with my simultaneous love for and fear of (and for) this man.

Joe Biden!

sharecroppers!  not good, but still.  TOM STOP IT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY.
