The Atlantic.

Appearing on National Public Radio's light-hearted quiz show "Wait, Wait . . . Don't Tell Me,", Perino got into the spirit of things and told a story about herself. During a White House briefing, a reporter referred to the Cuban Missile Crisis -- and she didn't know what it was.

"I was panicked a bit because I really don't know about . . . the Cuban Missile Crisis. It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I'm pretty sure." (Ya’ think…)

"I came home and I asked my husband. I said, 'Wasn't that like the Bay of Pigs thing?'

And he said, 'Oh, Dana.' "

Yeah. I wonder if Bari Weiss knows the difference?
