After following U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., American Values President Gary Bauer and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol at the third annual Washington Israel Summit on Tuesday, Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., said he felt like a character.
“That’s kind of like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker — and your final speaker will be R2-D2,” Pence joked.
Not to be outdone, Kristol joked about being the sole conservative faculty member at Harvard when he taught there. “They like to have one,” Kristol said. “It’s useful for the students to know what one looks like, especially when they go out for job interviews.”
After the panel discussion, the diminutive Bauer admitted that Barack Obama would definitely beat him in a basketball game.
“I’d prefer chess,” Bauer said.
