Recently overheard at a Democratic dinner:
You know you're in the doghouse when Jimmy Carter is punking you.
President Carter: [speaking to an audience]: I have a friend named Ralph Nader. He was trusted enough by my family to have been permitted in Plains, Georgia to umpire a softball game where I pitched on one side and my brother pitched on the other side. That's a lot of confidence. When I was president he gave me a lot of advice. And tonight I want to return the favor by giving him some advice.
[Audience applauds]
President Carter: Ralph, go back to umpiring softball games or examining the rear end of automobiles, and don't risk costing the Democrats the White House this year as you did four years ago.
[Audience applauds louder]
You know you're in the doghouse when Jimmy Carter is punking you.
