EARLIER, I MENTIONED BUSH’S SMIRKING during the Roberts introduction. Reader Avner Bezdboroko says I was wrong about why:

Last night on Ted Koppel he showed a side view of the introduction. The Roberts’ children were misbehaving some, sort of like Giuliani’s son during Rudy’s innauguration. This was in the Presidents peripheral vision and was why he was smirking. The kids had to be taken off the stage by their mom.

I stand corrected.

UPDATE: Here’s the picture, with the comment that “The kid will definitely be seeing this again at his wedding reception.” Heh.
