But which one is VP?


A few election cycles ago, John and Ted stood at the lectern in the White House, which was then inhabited by the administration of Bush I. My parents' neighbor, Donna Barron, worked in Barbara Bush's office and arranged a special tour for them.

The boys didn't do much during their brief flirtation with the, um, seat of power--a few signing statements, perhaps, and of course, as they were leaving, a pardon or two. Or not. It's not clear whether the experience left them lusting for power or infatuated with the American dream. Or not. But just in case--guys, we knew you when.
