We know the vice president well, and we know that when she speaks spontaneously, she has an unavoidable cackle. But when she's speaking from a script, she's very grave and very serious. So we know she's following a script here. And the script is that she has to reject what is common sense in the name of an ideological agenda. It's as simple as that.

That's his story, not our story. He told it.

She read me a passage from Booker T. Washington's autobiography Up From Slavery. The slave owner and his sons had mastered no special skill, no special industry. They unconsciously had imbibed the feeling that manual labor was not the proper thing for them. On the other hand, the slaves in many cases had mastered some handicraft and none were ashamed and few unwilling to labor.
