That's quacktastic!

Quacking Phone Interrupts Obama
By Steve Pendlebury, AOL News

June 30) -- If it quacks like a duck ... it might be someone's cell phone going off at the wrong moment.

President Obama discovered this Monday as he spoke in the East Room of the White House at an event marking Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Pride Month.



The president resumed his remarks, choosing not to go duck hunting for the offender. He showed more restraint than his spokesman did when a reporter's phone rang once too often at a White House briefing on May 13.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs had warned Human Events magazine's John Gizzi three times already.

"Just put it on vibrate, man," Gibbs implored. But Gizzi's phone rang again.
"Give me the phone," Gibbs demanded. The reporter sheepishly handed it over as the briefing room erupted in hoots and laughter.

Gibbs tossed the phone to someone in an adjacent office and when he returned to the podium, as if on cue, Bill Plante's phone started ringing. The CBS correspondent ducked out of the room before Gibbs could confiscate the device.

Such moments aren't unique to the Obama administration. Bush Press Secretary Tony Snow was in mid-briefing on Jan. 9, 2007, when Chamillionaire's tune 'Ridin' ' suddenly filled the room.

I think President Obama probably missed a chance to make a swift impact in 2 ways in this meeting. Im sure he didnt fully support gay marriage and he didn't grab that duck phone, stomp on it and choke the dude who had it out. I hate cell phones going off in public places but the White House is ten times worse.

Seriously, what is a reporter at this meeting waiting for a call for? Does he need to know whaht dude's throat Adam Lambert has his tounge down? If I ever meet this Gizzi guy my belt is going to get real acquainted with his ass.
