Sherwood Schwartz Dead at 94; Michelle Obama's Shake Out
BALDWIN: For 50 years, the theme song has been stuck in our heads and they definitely are this afternoon, right? Who doesn't have a favorite episode of "Gilligan's Island" or "Brady Bunch" or "I Dream of Jeannie." Those are just a couple of the creations of Sherwood Schwartz who passed away this morning at the age of 94. In letters, he left to be read only after his death. Schwartz reaching the pearly gates and talking to a voice and writes that the voice that writing isn't a profession, it's a disease and it's accompanied by disease even worst. He called rewriting. A gifted storyteller even in death he went on to write that he realized heaven was the place he had always been since the day he was born. Sherwood Schwartz leaves behind a wife, Mildred with whom he had four children. And now for your daily serving of "Political Pop," and it's all about food today. Joe Johns is here with that. Joe, tell you what when I lived in D.C., I had probably one too many Five Guys burgers, but it sounds like shake shack is in town and Michelle Obama likes it.</s>JOE JOHNS, CNN ANCHOR AND CORRESPONDENT: That's for sure. You know, the president actually has been The Five Guy - pictures of him.</s>BALDWIN: I know.</s>JOHNS: It sounds like she and Mrs. Obama actually did get a pretty good burger. She got it at D.C's hottest new burger joint and this is called "Shake Shack." It's been around for years mostly in New York, but it's new here in town and they're people who swear by it so there's no surprise that Mrs. Obama, who kind of keeps up with the trends with what real people are doing stop by and checkout herself. She orders a shake shack, fries, chocolate shake and get this -- diet coke.</s>BALDWIN: Of course, to counteract.</s>JOHNS: Right. Probably between 1,500 and 1,700 calories and suddenly we have what happens in D.C. when things are slow. You know, you can say some immediate types and people in social media even --</s>BALDWIN: Joe Johns, forgive me, I have to interrupt you because we're getting some live pictures. There he is George W. Bush walking former first lady Nancy Reagan down the aisle here. This is the Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, California. This is a packed house for former first lady Betty Ford who died recently at the age of 93. Watching these dignitaries extreme and I understand Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in assistance. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton will not because of some issues with his airplane. Rosalyn Carter will be giving one of the eulogies as well Cookie Roberts and here as they sit down moments before this memorial service begins. Joe Johns, what do you make of this? We have Rosalyn Carter giving the eulogy. I talked to Cookie Roberts. You know, she talked about how President Ford came into the White House. This is post- Watergate. I'm talking about she really, she was just very real.</s>JOHNS: She was an icon. She was a contemporary of people who were facing things at the same time. She really made a name for herself in this country for being that person who looked out for others, who were having difficulties in their lives particularly, you know, we associate her so much with the Betty Ford Center, and with other things.</s>BALDWIN: Breast cancer.</s>JOHNS: Yes, right, breast cancer, exactly. She was very close with Rosalyn Carter, sort of larger than life figure here in Washington, D.C., Brooke.</s>BALDWIN: Yes, and we just wanted to bring those pictures to our audience as we're getting them live and now, Joe Johns, let me just pick up where you left off. So we know the first lady was eating a burger. It's highly caloric. People are none too pleased, right? Go ahead.</s>JOHNS: Sure, you know, and people in social media started having fun with that. You could call it manufactured because she's an advocate for healthy ending and ending childhood obesity and there she is eating this big old burger, right? I guess, the point and really the take away of all of this though, at the end of the day, nutritionists sort of joined with her. If you eat healthy and in moderation most of the time and you work out and you look like Michelle Obama does, then sure, you can have a big burger and get away with it. You know?</s>BALDWIN: Yes, I kind of agree with you, you know. Run it off, be healthy, indulge every so often like perhaps myself and my team and my chocolate birthday cake today.</s>JOHNS: Before you go, let me be -- I can't be the first, so I'm going to have to be the last to say happy birthday to you from the whole team.</s>BALDWIN: Joe Johns, thank you so much. Thanks to all of you guys. Thank you for bringing in that wicked chocolate cake. I'm not counting the calories on that. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, my whole team. I truly appreciate it and Roger, thanks for the music. And that is it for me, thank you all so much. Let's go to Wolf Blitzer. "THE SITUATION ROOM" starts right now.</s>WOLF BLITZER, THE SITUATION ROOM: All right, thanks very much, Brooke.
