10/12-HOW OFTEN DOES A WISECRACK THIS GOOD COME THIS CLOSE TO COMING TRUE?



Sorry, Folks.  Today's blog for the first time features neither the guest nor the hosts.  This evening we salute a great political joke that almost came true today.  Once President Dwight Eisenhower stumbled so badly on so many vital topics his press secretary James Hagerty was asked by his assistant, "We've got to issue a statement.  What can we say?"  The thoughtful Hagerty replied, "All we can say is, 'The president does not speak for this administration!"

In trying to "clarify" something Vice President Joe Biden said in the debate with Congressman Paul Ryan last night, Obama Press Secretary James Carney was asked today how it was possible that neither Biden nor Obama knew the Consulate in Benghazi was begging for more security.  Carney actually said, "Biden was speaking for himself and the president; NOT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION.  (meaning the State Department knew!)
