I remember it vividly. My dad played it a lot.
My parents had that album. I remember all those phrases everyone said upthread, especially the eastern/western sandwich 
I have their album now, but no turntable on which to play it.
Loved it.
I remember some newspaper “where are they now?” articles on Vaughn Meader where he said he found out about JFK’s murder when he entered a taxi cab and the driver said “Did you hear about Kennedy in Dallas?”. Not knowing what happened, Meader asked “No, what’s the joke?”.
The album also had a parody of Jackie Kennedy’s televised tour of the White House with the CBS crew crashing through some doors and Jackie saying “Those oak doors were a gift from…”
Yeah, I remember it, and I also remember this. You can thank me later.
I have it.
JFK: Would you like that with a little mayo?
Chiang Kai-Shek: Please! Not to mention that name!
Very funny album.
Kennedy, to another luncheon guest: “And what will you have, Mr. Nkrumah?”
Kwame Nkrumah: “I think I will just have a little slice of watermelon.”
Kennedy: “Stop putting me on!”
Kennedy: "Yes, Operator, I’d like to speak to Mr. Rockefeller, please… Tell him it’s the President… The President… [longer pause, then, a little crossly] of the United States!"
Jackie, leading the White House televised tour: “This is the Red Room… this is the Green Room… and over here we have the Richard Nixon Dumbwaiter…”
Then there’s the state dinner where Pablo Casals, Albert Schweitzer and Leonard Bernstein are making their way through the receiving line, and are greeted by both the President and First Lady. Then JFK mutters to Jackie, “Why is it always your friends?”
JFK definitely knew of and had heard Meader’s album. He was asked about it in a press conference and said he enjoyed it, but thought Meader sounded more like his younger brother Ted.
My parents had this album and I remember enjoying it as a kid, but I’ve since been unable to find it. I don’t have a turntable. If anyone reading this thread could burn me a CD copy of theirs, I’d be very, very grateful, and also glad to pay you. Just PM me. Thanks!
JFK was killed about a month before I was born but I am familiar with Vaughn Meader. The Lenny Bruce quote is one of my favorite lines of all time. Oddly enough, I was just relating the Lenny Bruce story to my girlfriend a few days ago.
My family had it, and it seemed practically everyone did. I thought of it last night when watching a DVD of old commercials. A bunch of Crest commercials were on, and I started doing the lines in the JFK accent, like the first bit in the album.
Chuck McCann, later big in New York kid TV, was one of the voices on that album.
Target baby! I got me a Crosley Rochester and i use it all the time. aound $80 and they sound great!
I use mine ti listen to my LP’s of Bob newhart, Bill Cosby, Kingston Trio, Smothers Brothers and all the others I still have from my childhood.
IIRC there was someone in the Kennedy administration (Ted Sorenson, I think) who wondered about whether a comedian imitating the POTUS could possible panic the nation by getting on the radio and saying plausible things. One thing about the Orson Welles “War of the World” radio broadcast is that he had the Secretary of the Interior speak with a voice similar to President Roosevelt. But the JFK administration realized they couldn’t really do anything about it if they wanted to.
On a different vein, anyone remember the David Frye albums about Richard Nixon? There is a sketch where Richard and Pat Nixon go visit the White House because Eisenhower never let him about the first floor
LBJ “Alright, I’ll give you the tour. Stop kissing my hand, Dick. The Tour is $2. Company coming up, Lady Bird! Beautify yourself!”
Nixon “I’m deeply honored to be riding in the White House Elevator”
Pat Nixon “I’m thrilled to be in the White House elevator”
Hubert Humphrey “I’m pleased as punch to be running the White House Elevator”
Of course there is the later album when Frye-as-Nixon explains Watergate in a quote that applies to all politicians/leaders who get caught with their hand in the cookie jar “I accept full responsibility. But not the blame. Let me explain the difference. People who are to blame lose their jobs. People who are responsible do not.”
Thanks, ol’ pal, but I’d rather not buy a record player to listen to a single album which I don’t have.
I’ve got it. Got it for a present when I was about 12 (before JFK’s death).
“Thank you, Mr. President” 
And this is the Blue Room. We like to keep it just the way it was when President Blue left office.
Glad you posted this. I have a good turntable for LPs, but wanted something for 78s. I’ll check this out.
I first heard about it when Laugh Break (channel 105 on Sirius satellite radio) started playing bits from it. Didn’t know what to make of them at first, but I’ve really grown to like the skits.
It also plays 45’s! and on their website, they have a model that stacks them as well.
Think about it, you can play one song after another, up to eight times! Wow, it’s like the future.
Does it have an output that would allow for connecting to a computer for burning CDs? I really need to get off my arse & start recording the 78s, 45s, & LPs that my family bought way back when.
I remember the album-my Dad liked it.
The humor was pretty cornball-but it does give one pause 9to realize how LONG ago that was)!
I mean who remembers Chiang Kai Shek, David Ben-Gurion, Mao, Nasser, etc…these people left the stage long ago.
Of course, we now know just how bad the JFK Whitehouse was…glamour masking decay and corruption…the first stage of the decline of Imperial America:eek:
