During Tuesday's swearing in of Ashton Carter, our new Secretary of Defense, Vice President Joe Biden had a word or two reserved for Carter's wife, Stephanie. What words they were, we'll never know, because they were whispered sensuously into her ear, but here are some possible words: sweet; cheeks; Bubba J; grind; heyooooo; stuffed; thrust.

CNN has a full clip of Biden's little moment with Stephanie, whose eyes are a window into a soul murmuring to itself: "Please stop, please stop, please stop. Don't move, don't move, don't move."

After Joey B pulls back, Carter instinctively reaches to grab his wife's shoulder—a good show of defensive reflexes for the man now in charge of safeguarding U.S. national interests.
