(In the Tampa Theater, watching the inauguration)
Emily: Daddy?
Me: Yes, Emily?
Emily: Why does everyone keep booing the old man in the wheelchair?
Me: His name is Dick Cheney, and he's the closest thing to a Bond villain the world knows. All he needs is a white Persian cat to stroke.
Emily: Oh. So what happens to President Bush now?
Me: They put him into a fiery furnace to burn him to ashes, so he'll never be President again.
Emily: Really?
Me: No.

Stewart made a joke about a white cat in Cheney's lap on The Daily Show last night, actually.
I think it'd be simpler just to note everyone who DIDN'T mention the cat thing.
Dang - and here I thought I had been original. Ah, well.
