Dear Bailey, You were a great pet. You didn’t have trouble with the wheel like Jelly but you did stupidly fractured your spine that one time you tried to jump over the fence in my junior year of high school and I spent Chinese New Year’s Eve and Morning worrying sick about you when we took you to the Animal ER. Dumb dog. When I tell people that we spent over $5000 to fix you up,...

As Robert Gibbs prepares to leave the White House, POLITICO has put together a must-see video that takes a look back at all of the things Robert Gibbs has said he’s NOT at the briefing room podium… such as a ’Chinese historian,’ ‘a Parliamentarian,’ a ‘member of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee,’ a ‘document veracity person’…
