Reporters Delighted Over Robert Gibbs' 'Rising Podium' Trick
So ha ha, funny story: Robert Gibbs, he has this podium that he stands behind during press conferences, and it can be raised and lowered withno apparent effort,much like a levitating hippie. The simple mechanical act is enough to make Chuck Todd squeal with glee. The Washington press corps has not experienced such a giney-tickling thrill since the Jonas brothers played. [ YouTube ]
