It's not like they work 24 hour shift, and chances are they get paid pretty well for what they do, and get good vac time.

I can just see the future job interview now.

"What was your previous occupation?"

"I was the official plumber for the White House in D.C."

"Wow. You must have seen some important shiat! *laf*"

Just how does one serve a Hot Pocket to the First Lady at 2:00 a.m.? On a small, bone white Christofle plate rimmed in deep Navy and gold leaf with the Presidential seal embossed in the center? Accompanied by a Yoo-Hoo served well chilled in a Wedgewood crystal goblet? Is she served at a table, or is it carted to her bedside in the master bedroom?

This is what happens when you start rationalizing family values with gay marriages and having children out of wedlock. Liberals don't think twice about estranging children from their own parents.

She's the First Lady. She can have a fridge and microwave next to her bed if she wants to.

That's what I'd do ;)

She should follow Jim Gaffigan's advice and just put the Hot Pocket directly in the toilet...much more efficient.

i believe the yoohoo is served out of a fetal skull. or at least that's what the RNC told me.

She said she and her husband awoke one night and thought there was an intruder in the building, only to realize it was Bo playing with his ball.

That's actually kind of interesting. You're leader of the free world, living in this enormous building, guarded 24/7 by top notch security, and still when you're awakened in the middle of the night your instincts make you think you have intruders.

I agree, fetal skulls are too soft for beverages. It's much better to place the Hot Pocket in the fetal skull. Then you eat it like a soft-shelled crab.

Does anyone actually think the people there work more hours than in any previous administration? I suspect the Bush admin treated their people worse, simply because he's a douch that doesn't care about people? Hell, imagine how Cheney treated staff when he was around the WH?

It shows class to publicly admit they work hard and thank them for it.

They were on vacation more often than all the previous administrations combined going back to George Washington. I don't think Bush/Chaney were around enough to know how long their office workers actually worked.

Hate to break it you, but according to the white house exe chef during the Clinton admin, the Bushes were boring. W generally wanted only a BLT for lunch, and was extremely polite. He didn't like working there anymore because he wasn't challenged. So he says.

He's the Leader of the Free World. Not a day goes by that he's not burned in effigy somewhere. More than likely in his own country, the way the GOP is fomenting these days. Uneasy lies the head, that sort of thing.

But yeah - I know when any unusual noise wakes me, my brain and body are in "Intruder Alert!" mode instinctively. Security systems, door locks, and probability seem to have no effect on that response.

Oh, we're sorry. Please excuse us. So sorry. Can I get your bags? Would you like a pillow or a blanket? Is your tea hot enough? Did we step on your toes? Pardon us!

The headline resides in a vacuum. Like the half hour news hour, it's satire without context -- which isn't satire at all.

Might as well just call her fat and have a hearty laugh.
