Look at the closed eyes of these two soldiers during the pledge .. very touching and revealing.
This is a beautiful, memorable photo .. just gorgeous. No other First Couple has EVER been so attractive, photogenic and FIRST CLASS, both together and individually ... God's love, and their own for each other, just glows radiantly on their faces..
I think this was the subject of Brit Hume's show closing funny .. but I'm not sure. Darrell Hammond of SNL was doing one of his famous impressions at an event .. Rumsfeld was present, so it could've been here. He did an apparently hilarious impression of Rummy running a press conference, in his usual professional, facts only, no nonsense way, and had the room hysterically laughing, including Rumsfeld, who looked like this .. just cracking up.
And I think you're right that it was the SNL skit that Rummy was laughing about.
I saw this bit earlier on Fox News. The guy from SNL did a version of the "Apprentice" where Rummy was in charge, instead of Donald Trump, and as though the competition involved the various branches of the Military.
The punchline that cracked everybody up was something to the effect of "Oh, on second thought. Forget about it, I can't stand all this cr@p." It was funnier watching the tape, trust me. Loses something in my translation. Sorry. ;o(
