Forty years ago, when there wasn't as much behind the scenes coverage of US politics by journalists, there was a real element of showing off by name-checking presidential advisors, even in the context of saying something otherwise stupid.

It is hard to take some folks seriously sometimes when they see the VRWC always out to get them. Well, I'm off to butcher some babies
UPDATE: Apparently -- not that we would know -- White House hard passes have big brown and white diagonal stripes on the sides of the picture and a big PRESS written in white on the bottom. The one the liberal pack is pointing us towards has some sort of text field at the top but nothing at the bottom, and no stripes, as far as we can tell.
Still curious why he was there before Talon News existed, but not nearly the same deal.
