Emcess Glenn Kessler, Richard Claflin and Chad Leith had an amusing, Hasty Pudding kind of dynamic on stage. Although bits such as "The Home Shopping Period Network," "Hamlet-Cop" and an extended, musical version of "Knock Knock/ Who's There?/ Boo/ Boo Who?/ Hey there--dry your eyes!" were hilarious, perhaps the skits ran a tad long for this mother of all jams...
...stupidity scale, of course, the incident rates at least a 75. Biden's boo-boo was getting caught...

Bette's mother, Margaret (Sheila McDonald), derives a certain pleasure from the disintegration of her daughter's marriage. Boo's parents Soot (Randi Wolkenbreit) and Karl (Philip Munger) are not exactly paragons of familial support.
