I remember a joke Carson made about Jimmy Carter: “There’s going to be a ritzy banquet at the Carter White House this week; it’s going to be a black-sweater affair.”
Good one. My favorite Reagan spoof was the SNL skit with Phil Hartman, in which Reagan was publicly an amiable dufus, but behind closed doors was a take-charge guy, a master of policy detail, and able to make jokes in Japanese.
