DiVida tries to Save the World

The President has sent the Secretary of State to the Middle East to negotiate peace. DiVida goes along to carry her briefcase and her pointer so when the Secretary has to give her power point presentation, she has a free hand to hold her skirt down. Otherwise her pointer may slip and she may blot out Iraq, Iran, and Egypt along with Pakistan. DiVida is proud to carry the Secretary’s briefcase and pointer. It is her contribution in the war against terrorism. The Secretary needs someone to help her brush her teeth and keep her kinks from going back. DiVida is good at keeping things right.
