Even as a kid, I knew which way Mark Russell leaned. I didn’t find him particularly amusing.
"LBJ is working too hard. Last night, he shook hands with his beagle and picked Hubert up by the ears."I think he didn't pull punches with LBJ and Jimma Carter. Although as I think more about it, that may have been innate derision of Southerners to some degree."Richard Nixon's resignation made me very sad. I had to go back to writing my own material."
"Gerald Ford reminds me of the guy who answers the meat buzzer at the A&P."
"Jimmy Carter . . . I worry about a man whose teeth look like Chiclets."
