Truth to Power: The White House Press Corps Breaks Latte-Gate Wide Open

WH Press Corp: Extra FoamThis is hilarious, and apparently real. Great for those still suffering from the idea that the White House press corps is comprised of serious people. A transcript:

Q: Scott, I believe I asked for low foam with cinnamon. Is it the president’s position that everyone drink a mocha grande? Are we now the world’s coffee-drink police?

McClellan: I am not sure who you talked to about that. I’ll see what I can do.

Q: Is this official government policy? It’s not the first time this has happened…seriously, the American people are wondering how we can afford this many calories in wartime. Isn’t it time for the president to show some leadership?

McClellan: Well, I’ll try to get you the background on this. Shall we talk about Iran?

Q: Scott, please don’t evade. These are taxpayer dollars, and they are ruining my waistline. The American people would like to know whether our government should be so dependent on foreign caffeine. They are absolutely tousled.

McClellan: I can assure you the president has precisely no opinion on this.

Q: Some have argued that the more volatile parts of world are simply not ready for espresso. Should we be imposing our values on them?

And, scene.

    That’s freakin’ hilarious. When I read that story yesterday about the white house reporters crying about what news channels is on the TV, I knew things must be pretty good here in the good old USA.

    They deserve absurdity - they earned it!
