"I think the motor just left me running." . . . Please come CAPTION Mike Pence.




Mike ("I'm not wearing any underwear&quot Pence just said: "Name calling has no place in public life."

Reporter then says: "But your running mate, the Republican Presidential candidate, is infamous for calling names."

Mike Pence replies: "But he never held public office. . . . To enter public discourse, you first have to hold public office. . . Everybody knows that."


**********************************************************

To confess, all I did was to condense the occasion in which much of this was actually said. That is, I was "scooped by the world" once again. It's getting damned hard to satirize these cut-out clowns since they do so well all on their own. It's a natural talent.

The original line is well recorded:

On television this a.m., I heard that when asked about the apparent hypocrisy, Pence gave a reply that is very close to the CAPTION.

(I feel like a failure.)
