EGO

In an entertaining, yet irritating, press briefing today, Tony Snow repeatedly used the phrase "extraordinarily generous offer" to describe the White House's attempt to smooth over the Gonzales controversy by allowing Congress to interview some people behind closed doors, with no transcripts. One member of the press astutely offered the following question in response:
"I just want to be clear on something. On the "extraordinarily generous offer," which heretofore shall be known as "EGO" -- (laughter) -- so that would be withdrawn if the subpoenas are issued?"

Hahaha! It's fun to see Tony Snow squirm and even more fun to see the whole press room laugh at him.
