NO CELL PHONES

I was tipped off to an incident that happened today during Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’s daily briefing with the White House Press Corps, and I couldn’t wait to see it for myself.

Let’s put it this way: Don’t be an idiot and leave your cell phone on ring in the press briefing room while the press secretary is briefing you.

If you do, your company may not cover the cost of replacing your device.

(If you listen closely, you can catch Gibbs muttering something about an “enhanced interrogation technique.“ Now that’s funny.)
