During the Ensign scandals, Tweety allowed as how Ensign was a President "right out of Central Casting."

How long ago did Central Casting cease to exist? * (And that's ignoring the shallowness of the rest of the comment, which was hard to ignore.)

And thank heaven for Netflix or no one born after 1950, except maybe a film major, would get the rest of his film references.

Sorry, but, if you are on air five times a week, you really should get a little more current with pop culture. (That's why it's called pop.)

*Ouch. I just googled. Central Casting, founded in 1925, apparently still exists, but no one seems to talk about it these days.

My apologies to anyone who read the post before this correction. And to Tweety, on that one point.
