Q No? (Laughter)

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I think -- well, when I see her, I always remember she called me Darth Vader. (Laughter)

Q Yes, I forgot about that little episode, right.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, actually we laugh about it at home. My wife says it humanizes me. (Laughter.) But, no, I think she's bright, she's tough, she's hardworking -- I watched her operate the Senate. And it's an interesting choice for Secretary of State. So we'll see how that goes. And like all Americans, I wish him well. We're doing everything we can to help on the transition. And in the end when you put away the banners and the bullhorns of the campaign, he's now our President -- about to be as of January 20th -- and it's important for all of us that he succeed.

Q That's fair enough. I think that was great.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: All right.

Q Thank you for covering so much ground in a short time. We very much appreciate it.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, listen, I enjoyed it. It's good to talk to you. I had not done a lot of interviews while I've been in this job prior to this.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: The relationship didn't flourish, but it's not out of any lack of respect for what you guys have got to do. You've got to ask, and I'll do my best to answer.

Q We really appreciate what you covered today -- very, very helpful to us.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: All right.

Q And we look forward to working with you on the special section -- I think you'll like it.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Okay. All right.

Q Thank you very much, sir. Have a great holiday.
