Duck! It’s the vice president!

When President Bush welcomed the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Mighty Ducks to the White House on Wednesday, he (or at least his speechwriters) couldn’t resist a little fun at Vice President Cheney’s expense.

“We’re glad you’re here,” said the president. “Like, have you noticed a lot of security around here?  It’s because the Vice President heard there were some Ducks around.”

Yes, that would have been a security breach, alright — no one would have been safe.
