watching the 1968 vietnam christmas special (aired jan 16/1969)


i think this is the last one with the big crowds as nixon took over in jan 1969 and the draw downed commenced. ann-margaret is the babe of the year for this one.

john mccain's father showed up - admiral john mccain. they mentioned that his son was a pow but bob called him james mccain.

best joke: bob says he came to vietnam to get away from all the violence. lol

westmoreland is gone and replaced by abrams.

he also made a couple of jackie o jokes who married onassis in 1968.

he also called nixon ike's caddy. lol

there was a hong kong flu joke which was big in 1968

bob acknowledges at the end that there is a "debate" over the war.

governor reagan welcomes bob home at the airport.
