I keep thinking about the grandchildren conversation. I truly believe they did talk about their grandchildren, but on Slick's end, it was a not so veiled plea.
I can hear his raspy voice voice now.
"Loretta, you do recall that I am responsible for you sitting in the seat you're in today. You know, Hillary and I just had a second grandchild and there's nothing more important in life that spending time with your children and grandchildren. We love them more than anything. Loretta, don't you think it's sad when grandparents don't get a chance to see their children and grandchildren whenever they want? I mean, FaceTime and phone calls are okay, but to see them grow up and give them hugs and kisses on a regular basis, now that is the right of every grandparent. (wink, nod, wink, nod) Don't you agree, Loretta? Now tell me about your grandchildren."
That's the way the game is played and the game must be at a very desperate point for Slick to play his last trump card so overtly.
Hint: It was not overt on purpose. They got caught, exposed and are now in the coliseum waiting for lions to come in.
