| 0:30.2 | Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest. For April 24th, 2015, the would-you attend the |
| 0:39.1 | gay wedding edition. I'm David Plotts about us. Obscura, John Dickerson of Slate, CBS News, |
| 0:46.8 | Incoming Presumptive Host to Facination is here with me. John, I was just wondering if you are |
