Sen. Richard Lugar: [at the Senate confirmation hearing] Okay, let's wind this up and confirm this lady. I have tickets for "The Lion King" tonight. Dr. Rice, would you like to close with a few buzzwords?
Condaleeza Rice: Uh, okay - Axis of Evil, war on terrorism, with us or against us, blah, blah, blah.
Sen. Richard Lugar: Okay, let's vote.
Sen. John Kerry: Just one minute, Senator - I have a question.
Sen. Richard Lugar: Okay, Senator Kerry, make it fast.
Sen. John Kerry: First, let me say that there's nowhere else I'd rather be than here conducting the business of the Senate. However, my inauguration would have featured both poet laureate Bob Dylan and the incomparable Savion Glover bringing in both "Da Noise" and "Da Funk".
Sen. Richard Lugar: Excuse me, Senator Kerry, do you have a question?
Sen. John Kerry: Technically, I do not.
Sen. Richard Lugar: But, you said you did!
Sen. John Kerry: Okay, then, I do. Dr. Rice, do you agree that that would have been a wonderful inauguration?
Condaleeza Rice: [not listening] Uh, yes. Wait, I mean No!
