Sigh. I always felt bad for Vaughn Meader. He had a thing. He was on top of the world, it seemed like everyone had a copy of that record. We had one, we all loved it.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Mr. Chiang Kai Shek?

CHIANG KAI-SHEK: A Club Sandwich would be fine. thank you so much.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Would you like it with a little mayo?

CHIANG KAI-SHEK: Please! Not to mention that name!

Then Kennedy was assassinated. And that was pretty much it for him.

NIXON: Well, sir...I think that two million is much too much...however, I do think the residual benefits derived from the benefits would more than compensate, sir, for the original outlay of funds.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY: I see. Mr. Rusk, what do you think?

RUSK: Well, Sir, I do not go along with Mr. Nixon. The residual benefits are beside the point. It's a dangerous move.

JOHNSON: I'd like to say something if I might!

PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Must you, Lyndon?

If this was comedy back then, I guess it is no wonder LBJ had him shot. (Only kidding. Kind of.)
