Dictated on board Air Force One en route from Mentor, Ohio to Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
Dear Diary: I'm on the road campaigning again -- the best place to be as the uh...political heat climbs in the wake of the uh...hurricane. Let me be clear: I've done what is required of me as leader: provided photo-ops, looked busy and made reassuring noises to the unwashed masses. Some of them have the strange idea that they employ me... imagine that. Meantime, I said yesterday in this... uh...Diary that I need to do something urgently to muzzle Joe Biden. How right I was. Now he has declared that "that there's never been a day I've been proud been proud to be his Vice President." I have instructed the crazy old coot to take an immediate vacation after the election. Soon after that, I will help him discover an overwhelming urge to spend more time with his ...uh... family.
