Press Gaggle
Q. There is a report that nearly 6,000 people in the U.S. wind up in emergency rooms over the holidays because of decorating injuries. What specifically are you and the President doing to hang the holly and the mistletoe safely? (Laughter.) And have orders been issued that there is to be no dipping into the punch bowl while decorating? (Laughter.)
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I would just say that we have great appreciation for all the staff and the volunteers who help put up the Christmas decorations and the holiday decorations that adorn the White House, and we appreciate all that they have done in that.
Q. Follow-up, Scott. (Laughter.)
MR. McCLELLAN: Happy holidays. Go ahead, Les.

I've started reading Press Gaggle pretty regularly now, it pulls out two or three sort of funny comments from every White House press conference. If you like really dry humor, so dry that you miss some of the funny parts on the first reading, you should put down your Economist and take a look. My only complain is that there is no index that I can find, so if you want the look at stuff from the election or earlier you have to keep clicking the previous link over and over and over again.
