The 60's thru 70's come to mind.

And Gorbachev had quite a few fans in DC, too...

After the last five years? I just love her. I'm not gonna lie. Not in a weird way. Just... I'm so so happy to have that wit cutting down the gotchas from the podium. Gives me hope.

She is the best press secretary since at least the Kennedy administration. Perhaps we are looking at a future President.
