Just realized one advantage of Romney and doggiegate; it gives me a chance to revive one of my favorite stories from the Johnson Administration. Anyone watching TV tonight will have been reminded that Lyndon Johnson used to pick up his beagles by the ears. “My momma used to pick up me by the ears,” said Lyndon in defense, “and nobody raised a fuss.”
But there was the case of Victor Borge, the Copenhagen-born pianist who gave the term “Scandinavian humor” real content. Borge said he went to the White House once; Johnson picked him up by the ears and said: “You, sir, are truly a great Dane.”
