Morning Tweet: Hail to the Cowboys?

Aug 26, 2010, 9:00 AM EDT

Not only is my friend Lew Patton a Dallas Cowboys follower, but he’s also a fan of Presidential press secretaries. So it was no wonder he came across this late Wednesday; proof positive that the White House is not only concerned with oil spills and unemployment figures. I knew that Robert Gibbs grew up in Alabama and attended Auburn, but didn’t know he was a Cowboys fan. At any rate, he’s thrilled that the blue jerseys will stay in the crate this season, the Cowboys going with white for every game. As Biden would say, “That’s a big f****** deal.”
“When it come to emotions, even great heroes can be idiots.”

ABOUT LAST NIGHT

What you missed while posing for a mighty attractive mugshot

* Uh oh … Donald Fehr is in the premises. Looks like an NHL strike.

* All those fouls your team is taking at the end of the basketball game? A big waste of time, as it turns out.

* Chad Ochocinco gets his own cereal. Makes a lot of noise when you pour in milk, but then quickly gets soggy and loses in first round of the playoffs.

A little hunting? There’s at least three extinct species in this room alone. Could you have saved some wall space for a small photo of your kids?
