ha ha, yuck, yuck

To borrow a quote from Han Solo:

“Yuck it up, fuzz ball.”

Even while Harry Whittington was suffering a heart attack, possibly brought on by the fact that he has shotgun pellets imbedded in his chest thanks to Dick Cheney, the White House was busy making jokes.

From Yahoo News:

President Bush’s spokesman quipped Tuesday that the burnt orange school colors of the University of Texas championship football team that was visiting the White House shouldn't be confused for hunter's safety wear.

“The orange that they're wearing is not because they're concerned that the vice president may be there,” joked White House press secretary Scott McClellan, following the lead of late-night television comedians. “That's why I'm wearing it.”

The president's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, took a similar jab after slapping an orange sticker on his chest from the Florida Farm Bureau that read, “No Farmers, No Food.”

“I'm a little concerned that Dick Cheney is going to walk in,” the governor cracked during an appearance in Tampa Monday

Reminds us of those pictures of W. joking about his hunt for weapons of mass destruction in and around the West Wing before a correspondents dinner. These guys just don’t get it.

More soon.
