I'm reading through some of Roberts' Senate testimony from his appellate court nomination (you can find the whole thing here but, be warned, it's the pdf to end all pdf's) and, while this part is totally unimportant, it's still worth excerpting. As context, Warner said he'd be attending his 50th reunion that week:
Senator LEAHY. I was impressed, the 50th reunion, so you graduated at the age of 10?
Senator WARNER. I beg your pardon?
Senator LEAHY. You graduated at the age of 10? I was very impressed, your 50th reunion.
Senator WARNER. No, I was not a child prodigy.
[Laughter.]
Senator WARNER. Nor am I a senior prodigy. I am just one of your fellow Senators.
Senator LEAHY. And a good friend and highly respected on both sides of the aisle, I might add.
Senator WARNER. I thank you.
Chairman HATCH. We are grateful to have you here, Senator Warner. We appreciate that.
How can these guys be throwing nuclear options at each other? It's a total lovefest up there. Frivolity aside, Greg has culled the important bits on choice and they're relatively, though not wholly, comforting.
