{"footnote":"  \u003Cp class=\u0022leftranged halfline\u0022\u003E    Hovering outside was a habit of Bush\u0026rsquo;s. Zbigniew Brzezinski, who had been Carter\u0026rsquo;s national security adviser, told me that he had been invited to brief the president early in his first term on    the Soviet threat. When he had finished his summary, he said, he asked Reagan if he had any questions. Reagan responded: \u0026lsquo;Do you know the one about the newly elected black judge in Mississippi?\u0026rsquo;    Brzezinski said no. Reagan explained that the judge, after being told by his clerk that the case involved a charge of rape, said: \u0026lsquo;Well then, bring in the fuckee and the fucker.\u0026rsquo; That was it.    Brzezinski was ushered out of the Oval Office and found Bush waiting outside, eager to learn of Reagan\u0026rsquo;s response to the briefing. \u0026lsquo;I said he told me a joke,\u0026rsquo; Brzezinski recalled. The vice    president replied: \u0026lsquo;Oh no. Not the one about the Mississippi judge.\u0026rsquo;  \u003C\/p\u003E\n","audio":[],"video":[]}
