Cheesy Mac Reagan had to battle gravity and sheer shock to keep her jaw from dropping to the floor in horror at Cooper's speech. 'Absolute power and influence'?!? Is he insane?! Maybe the man's been enchanted, or worse, cursed. Why else would he be acting so ... so... idiotic!?!
Hurrying to the podium in an attempt to minimize the damage that Cooper may have done, Reagan announced, "Uh, thank you Minister Cooper." Ok, Reagan, focus on the strengths of his speech. Like there were many. Here we go. "I think you're quite right, Minister, about our country being able to provide an excellent show for our esteemed guests. So why don't we go on with that excellent show, yes? So now, without further ado, please enjoy 'Flowering Nations' performed by Chiara Quarra and The Quarra International Troupe." Reagan began clapping her hands to welcome the group.
