David Gergen is the winner of tonight’s one-liner award.

On CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 tonight, Gergen, a former adviser to four presidents, participated in a panel with “Primary Colors” author Joe Klein and radio talk show host Joe Madison. Cooper wrapped the segment on Hillary Clinton’s future in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination by asking panelists whether they thought Clinton would pursue the vice presidency.

Klein said he didn’t consider it out of the question, going on to talk about how Clinton has drawn millions of women to her historic candidacy and how her “domestic policy expertise” would strengthen Obama’s administration.

Cooper tossed to Gergen: “What do you think, David?“

“I think the people around him would think he would need some food tasters if that was the case,“ Gergen deadpanned.

Move over, Stewart and Colbert. Gergen’s just as funny—and he does it with class.
