Kinda reminds me of the time - back in the Clintoon Administration - when the media caught Jocelyn Elders headed into an Eric Clapton benefit concert for some cause or other.
They asked her if she was a fan, and she rambled on for a minute and a half just on how she was such a big fan of "Eric Clapner", and what a wonderful musician "Eric Clapner" was, and what she thought of "Eric Clapner's" humanitarian efforts.
Ahhhh, those were the good old days.
