Transcript:
Duvalier: ...and I'm still kicking myself for not having them all shot! Rick: I see. Duvalier: No... no, that doesn't sound right. Don't use that. Rick: Um... I'm afraid we're on the record here, Mr. Duvalier. Duvalier: So what? It's my interview, and I just told you not to use it! Rick: It doesn't work that way, sir. Because you said it on the record, I get to print it. Duvalier: Amazing... what's that called? Rick: A free press. I could send you some literature on it.

“I’m not sure I like this concept. It sounds like it would make it harder to control the masses.”.“Don’t worry about it sir. We have politicians in America who can say anything and still have a following.”

you mean the entire Republican Party. And of course the right wing MSM, who went crazy over Obama not attending Mrs Reagan’s funeral, and who went crazy just this week over Obama not stopping his trips to Cuba and SA because of the terror attack in Brussels and now, seriously, the 2 biggest GOP candidates for president are a Fascist Billionaire and a religious fanatic who is absolutely hated by everyone who knows him. I mean the 17 you started with were all minor league, but the 3 left have just 1, the current Gov of Ohio who, while a very serious far right conservative, remains the only one who could possibly be counted as a serious candidate.

Ezra Benson forgot that one, too. You gotta say ‘off the record’ first, then tell your joke.
