When two world leaders come together to, in the words of expert pooler Joseph Curl, celebrate “the power of freedom and democracy” by “pay[ing] tribute to a drug-addled sex addict who died on the toilet,” magic happens. Continuing our blanket coverage of the goofiest World Summit since Yalta, here are excerpts from today’s AF1 gaggle:

Q Did you hear the Prime Minister say anything this morning, like, I really want to go to the jungle room?

MR. SNOW: No, I haven’t, but I’m sure he’s anticipating it as eagerly as the rest of us are.

Q Is the President wearing anything Elvis-y?

MR. SNOW: No. Neither of them is wearing Elvis-y regalia. That has been only staffers who have been reduced to wearing bad sunglasses.

So much more (”they’re working out or getting drunk — we’re not sure”), after the jump.

This morning’s White House pool report is a real gem — and it’s short, so we won’t even put it on a jump page. Here it is: MORE »

This afternoon we poked fun at the excuse for a pool report filed by Joseph Curl, who covers the White House for the sushi-subsidized Washington Times. We made Joe the following offer: “If you’d like to file an amended pool report, after attending remedial pool reporting class this afternoon, just email it to us, and we will disseminate.”

Perhaps Joe heard us — his next pool report reflects much more diligence than his last one. Although it’s still marked by a certain breezy insouciance, it lacks the “I don’t give a rat’s ass” tone of his last missive.

Check it out for yourself, after the jump.

Being a White House correspondent sounds like a great gig. Several former WH correspondents have gone on to that Valhalla for print journalism, television. And don’t forget their glamorous gala, the White House Correspondents Association dinner, taking place on Saturday, April 29. (Speaking of which: Word on the street is that invites to the Bloomberg after-party are out now. Are you on the list?) MORE »
