Snark certainly isn't my goal. I don't know how I gave off that impression so clearly in this thread to everyone. Of course I'd like to make him uncomfortable, but it won't happen. I really want interesting answers for the man. I believe he's done some of the worst harm to the country in it's history, but obviously he didn't do it out of malice, and despite hating him so much, I still have deep respect for the man and I'm completely in awe of what he's been capable of doing, in a similar way that I'm in awe of Putin and have to respect how goddamn good of a politician he is, despite being an absolutely dreadful, despotic villain.

I'm leaning towards CIA or thenewgreen's suggestion of asking about yellow cake. The man's a complete enigma in a lot of ways, and I'm hoping now that he's out of the vice presidency he might be more candid than he would have been previously. In those "who would you have dinner with" conversations that occasionally come up, he's also in the top three for me because of how much history he's seen.
