White House's Jay Carney, circa 1997: "Pork Lives!"

Thanks to C-SPAN's Howard Mortman for sending this fun clip from 16 years ago, when a nearly pubescent Jay Carney, now President Obama's press secretary and then a scribe at Time magazine, noted that "pork lives!" in response to a caller citing a 1997 Reason story about then-Sen. Dick Lugar's promotion of a "Popcorn Research Council."

Help me out here, which of the three male characters did Jay Carney play: Ross, Chandler, or Joey?

[SugarFree]

He was the mentally disabled street urchin Phoebe adopted in the last season as a stunt to boost ratings. It didn't work and he was quietly written off the show. Eventually they retconned it to explain that he suffocated while playing with a dry cleaning bag and Monica served him at her restaurant to get rid of the body.

[RBS]

Didn't I see that on Tales From the Crypt?

[SugarFree]

It was the crossover episode.

[BakedPenguin]

And those episodes were still better than Joey.

[SugarFree]

And Joey episodes are far, far worse than episodes of Episodes, but better than the episodes-within-episodes of the show Episodes is about.

[Michael]

Matthew Brock, I think.

my best friend's ex-wife makes $89 an hour on the internet. She has been fired from work for five months but last month her income was $21940 just working on the internet for a few hours. Go to this web site and read more..... http://WWW.DAZ7.COM

Mr. Carney is older and wiser now. You need an inside view if you want to understand what makes the federal government run.

It's bottling day. 15 gallons of mead and 6 gallons of melomel should be in bottles by the end of the afternoon.

[LTC(ret) John]

15 gallons of mead?! Having an Saxon war band over for feasting?

[Brandybuck]

Don't let Maven catch you selling any out the back door.

In FY1997, federal spending was 1.6 trillion dollars, a full 2 trillion dollars less than in FY2013.

If only we could bring back some 1997 style pork barrel spending!

[Duke]

Watching this clip is like getting in a time machine that goes to nowhere. Same old corrupt big government that's only up to no good. Rascals!

[sarcasmic]

"Pork lives!"

He talking shit about John's girlfriend?

[Raven Nation]

All press secretaries are weasels to some extent, but Carney seems especially despicable.

[Rich]

I imagine David Axelrod finds that video disturbing.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The caller was Stossel. Dead giveaway at 1:45 mark.

[Farturo]

I heard a mustache brush against the phone receiver too.
