“This is one of the proudest moments of my life,” the Vice President told the members of the press once they had returned to their seats.  “I knew that President Clinton had set the high score back in the final days of his term, and since I think myself to be a lot like Mr. Clinton, I needed to do this to prove that I could follow in his footsteps.”

The White House has yet to release the new high score stating it to be a matter of National Security.  “We can’t have our alien enemies knowing exactly how skilled the Vice President is, now can we?” the President asked to the delight of the reporters in the room.
