In Passing

“When Vice President Biden and I stand naked in the reflecting pool and chirp like birds.”


I’d put this one in the “consider the source” category:

...the White House is looking to install a small video or computer screen into the podium used by the president for press conferences and events in the White House.  “It would make it easier for the comms guys to pass along information without being obvious about it,” says [an unnamed former communications] adviser.

The screen would indicate whom to call on, seat placement for journalists, pass along notes or points to hit, and so forth, says the adviser. - American Spectator “Washington Prowler”
True or not, the idea raises some amusing possibilities:
“Mr. President, when will we see the end to this recession?”...

“Uh, uh,” ... “When Vice President Biden and I stand naked in the reflecting pool and chirp like birds.  Hey, that can’t be right.  Rahm, are you sure that’s what I’m supposed to say?”
