John (over TV): Good evening. Today, by a narrow margin of 50 to 46, the U.S. Senate confirmed Duane Delacourt as the new Secretary of Symbolism! Catherine Mackin has more. Cassie? Cassie (over TV): Thank you, John. I'm here in the White House briefing room with Secretary-elect Duane Delacourt. The mood here is one of triumph, is it not, Mr. Secretary? Duane (over TV): Yes, that's right...it's a moment of personal triumph, of course, but more importantly, it is a victory for symbolism- for cardigans, for town meetings, and for call-in shows and for fireside chats! Yes, it's a victory for the "little guy," the "man in the street," the "average Joe"... Cassie (over TV): Back to you, John, if you don't mind.
