Reminds me of a quote by the NBA star Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell (Celtic, Conf. Finals MVP): "I'm a Republican 'cause most guys don't make the jack I do."
("Jack" was slang for money way back in the 80's)
Oh yeah, I remember “jack”. I remember big 80’s hair too, and huge brick sized cell phones (a pompous jerk I worked for had one of those).
Joan also wisecracked against fellow Republican, Bo Derek. I think she said some along the lines of Bo Derek is dumb. The most beautiful woman in the world is so stupid that she studies for her pap test or somping. When Bo Derek appeared on a show with Joan Rivers as the host, Bo had a bog roll of tape to tape up Joan Rivers mouth if she said something offensive.
Charles Barkley, also N.B.A.. His grandma asked him why he was a republican, republicans are for the rich. His answer was, grandma, we are the rich.
