Always seeking to expand his legacy, President Obama, in an interview with NBC's Savannah Guthrie, boasted that he is the "first president since George Washington to make some booze in the White House."  Facts: Washington had a whiskey distillery built at his Mount Vernon home.

At the annual Alfalfa Club dinner, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., cracked: "Jeb Bush looks like he's running for president. So now we know what the Bush family means by 'no child left behind.'"

Another potential presidential contender, Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., vacillating on vaccinations for measles: "(we) have had our children vaccinated" but "...parents need to have some measure of choice ... so that's the balance that the government has to decide."
