BigMo4DC: Mr. Vice President?

BehindTheCurtain: Hello Senator

BigMo4DC: I have a serious question

BehindTheCurtain: What about?

BigMo4DC: Foreign policy

BehindTheCurtain: Go for it

BigMo4DC: I want to meet with a foreign leader but it needs to be a significant country

BehindTheCurtain: What for?

BigMo4DC: Photo-Op

BehindTheCurtain: Try Italy or France

BigMo4DC: No, this needs to be a more significant country

BehindTheCurtain: How about Venezuela?
BehindTheCurtain: In fact, Bush Sr. and I could setup a multi-country tour.

BigMo4DC: Venezuela and what else?

BehindTheCurtain: We send you to Venezuela to demand Chavez stop screwing with Chevron and Exxon
BehindTheCurtain: Then you go to Columbia and tell them to control the cartels "or else"

BigMo4DC: I go personally to Venezuela and Columbia?

BehindTheCurtain: Well Chavez doesn't take you seriously unless you make the trip
BehindTheCurtain: and the Columbians tend to respond best in-person.

BigMo4DC: What about security?

BehindTheCurtain: You are practically a Presidential Candidate - what's the worst that could happen?

BigMo4DC: Uhh,... kidnapping... assassination

BehindTheCurtain: I wouldn't worry about assassination - you'd be much more valuable alive

BigMo4DC: But still, I don't want to be kidnapped

BehindTheCurtain: Com'on if, if, if that ever happened...
BehindTheCurtain: President McCain would eventually get you back
BehindTheCurtain: It would be a top priority after the inauguration
BehindTheCurtain: ...maybe second to tax-cuts, but certainly high on the list

BigMo4DC: Uh,... Let's ditch the Latin American idea
BigMo4DC: What about Russia?

BehindTheCurtain: Hmm,... Putin is a tough guy

BigMo4DC: We could meet somewhere in Europe
BigMo4DC: Just a photo op

BehindTheCurtain: Maybe you get luck and a foreign leader dies

BigMo4DC: But you never know when that will happen

BehindTheCurtain: I can call the CIA and check the assassination calendar
BehindTheCurtain: Maybe something is coming up

BigMo4DC: WHAT?!?!

BehindTheCurtain: Just leave it to me
BehindTheCurtain: I'll see what I can do

BigMo4DC: Uh,... thanks, I think

BehindTheCurtain: Anytime, Senator
