How appropriate (& poignant!) Thanks for looking that up!

Like the Reagans, George and Laura understand their audience more that many would give credit. I saw the tape of the ROAST and have no issue with their performance. Rather, I applaud their brilliance at stealing the thunder from their would-be detractors.

Also, to your point re: klintoon - couldn't be more timely! As he mugs for the camera and disparages "America's yut" for following his lead (gluttony), those jokes that weren't told (by klintoon) back then, got told (again & again) by everyone else. klintoon became the well-deserved "butt" of his own jokes.

It's funny to realize that Ferguson was writing these jokes years before any of us knew who Monica Lewinsky was, isn't it?

Hey, Hillary's great, isn't she? I feel like I can talk to her about anything. Right after the inauguration, I remember she was kind of thinking out loud. "Bill," she said, "do you think there will ever be a woman in the White House?" I said, "Sure--the first weekend you leave town."
