Even when scripted, the zingers at a political debate - when they land - are a nice respite from the constant harping on the same policies over and over.
At last night's second GOP debate one of the lighter moments came when the moderators asked each candidate to offer an idea for what their Secret Service code name might be.
Jeb Bush was clearly prepared when they got to him: "Eveready." (Bush later told reporters Everready was his codename during his governorship of Florida).
Bush then turned to Donald Trump standing to his right and added, "It's very high-energy, Donald."
As political followers know, The Donald has chided Bush for being "very low energy."
The two opponents then shared a low-five and the crowd smiled.
For your entertainment, head over to the Washington Post where they have come up with a little gadget that computes your Secret Service codename. Apparently, my codename would be "Ringbolt."
I like that.
