First, last week’s trivia answer — President Jimmy Carter: “I’ve known Hamilton Jordan a long time, and I have discounted the story because they said he was drinking amaretto and cream”  — and the winning questions:

• Richarda: Something about spitting on someone at a party. These days, isn’t he one of the folks trying to subvert the Electoral College?
• Bryon Scott: What was the President’s reaction to the 33 page, 8000 word report denying that Hamilton Jordan actually spat some of his drink down the blouse of a woman at Sarsfields?
• AlexC: “In view of the 33-page, so-called Jordan report, is there any truth to the rumor that you’re planning a White House conference on etiquette in singles bars?”
• Peter Roff: What — other than a Brandy Alexander — was Hamilton Jordan accused of spitting down the blouse of a lobbyist in a Washington, D.C. singles bar?

From the March 6, 1978 Time magazine:

The locus this time was Sarsfield’s, a bar half a mile west of the White House that sports a Gay Nineties decor and a clientele that can range, on a given evening, from Washington office workers to White House staffers, along with political powers like House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill. As Columnist Rudy Maxa told it in a short but vivid item in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine, Jordan turned up one Friday evening with some friends, introduced himself to a young woman as Harvey Phillips and tried to strike up a conversation. When the woman, identified only as “an attractive advertising copywriter,” ignored him, Maxa wrote, Jordan angrily spat some of his drink down her blouse and then demanded that she leave.

What was more surprising than the thinly substantiated Post tidbit (Maxa said that the girl was a personal friend of his) was the stunning White House reaction. After seeing Maxa’s item, Press Secretary Jody Powell counterattacked with an 8,000-word, 33-page denial that must be one of the more bizarre official documents ever to emerge from the White House. Among the supporting evidence was the transcript of a lengthy deposition taken by a White House lawyer from the saloon’s barkeep, Daniel V. Marshall III. Marshall’s recollection was that Jordan had been besieged: “Girls [were] coming up to Hamilton and woowoo, you know what I mean?” Eventually, the bartender said, Jordan “did say something to the point where enough’s enough. I think one of the girls got insulted.” But Marshall was sure there had been no spitting of Jordan’s drink, Amaretto and cream: that “would have been quite a mess, and she certainly wasn’t wet.”

First, last week’s trivia answer — Dicky Flatt — and the winning question:

• Lee Annis: “Who was the Texas printshop owner who Phil Gramm in his 1992 keynote to the GOP convention held out as his model to test whether or not federal regulations or taxes were too intrusive by asking if those regulations or taxes helped him or hurt him?”

Indeed, from Phil Gramm’s Feb. 24, 1995 presidential announcement speech:

I will look at every program of the federal government and I will submit it to one simple test. It is a test that by the end of this campaign every person in every city and town in America will know and understand, and I call it the Dicky Flatt test. (Cheers.) I call it the Dicky Flatt test in honor of a printer from Mexia that you know because he introduced me here today. Many of you have met him and know him. Many of you have heard me speak about him. He works hard for a living. His print shop is open till 6:00 or 7:00 every weeknight, open till 5:00 on Saturday. And whether you see him at the PTA or the Boy Scouts or the Presbyterian Church, try as he may, he never quite gets that blue ink off the end of his fingers.
