"PRETTY SERIOUS YODELING" [Byron York]

From today's White House briefing:

Q: Can I also ask you, on Senator Kerry's comments, what is your reaction to the filibuster call by Senator Kerry, on Judge Alito?

MR. McCLELLAN: On his call yesterday? It was a pretty historic day. This was the first time ever that a Senator has called for a filibuster from the slopes of Davos, Switzerland. I think even for a Senator, it takes some pretty serious yodeling to call for a filibuster from a five-star ski resort in the Swiss Alps. (Laughter.)

YEAH, that has to be it.LOL!
Hey sometimes if we take this all too seriously we could hurt oursleves.

I wasn't skiing,
I was snowboarding.

I don't fall, the S.O.B. tripped me.

funny, too bad he cant do that all the time. Normally he is pretty drab.

For a WH spokesman, "drab" is pretty much what you want. That way, a shift from "drab" like this really makes an impression.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Great response, but I doubt that it was spontaneous.

Somebody saw that question coming.

A staffer probably came up with the response in the prep meeting, just in case somebody asked the question.
