Paging Lewis Carroll

Via Atrios comes this gem of a paragraph from a Phillly Inquirer story:

Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see any stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a senior administration official who asked that his name not be used.

wow, that is just perfect...

you have a sense of what's coming as you're reading it, but - no, surely not - yep, there it is.

[fyodor]

Imagine the fun of leaking that one!

[Gene 6-Pack]

Since DeepThroat, I have always felt that the identity of someone leaking White House secrets would almost always be a more important story than the story they leaked.

[David]

Lewis who?

[David]

Perhaps Justin refers to that spawner of frumious bandersnatches--Lewis Carroll. 🙂

[David]

That's Julian, not Justin. My apologies.

[Julian Sanchez]

Eh, I'm used to it. As a kid, I was invariably called "Justin" by teachers for the first couple of days. And yes, that Lewis Carroll... except I initially left out an "r".

[Xavier]

It's funny that this comes out around the same time as all the complaints about Bush not reading newspapers. Even if such a story exists, there isn't much chance of Bush seeing it.

God gives each journalist one opportunity in life to write a sentence of perfect ironic symmetry, and this is one of them.

[david f]

okay, pat. i have to ask about your name -- do you come from a long line of cameltoes?

of all the names, yours and Laz's are two that make you stop and say, hmmm.

[Pat Cameltoe]

There's my dad, Harold. His father, Lance.

Oh, and my uncle, Phillip.

Julian,
Thanks for the headzup on that story. A better headline would be:

LEAKING LEAKERS AND THE LEAKS THEY LEAK!

(Lewis Carroll is fine, but one should never miss an opportunity to parody Al Franken.)

[twistedmerkin]

David, didn't we all come from cameltoes?

[NoStar]

Dear Twistedmerkin,

Those born via cesarian section did not come from caleltoes.

[NoStar]

Dear Twistedmerkin,

Those born via cesarian section did not come from cameltoes.

[Russ]

Any Seymour's or Anita's in the family?

[Lonewacko: I Blogged Across Am]

Hatrios and the other kindergartners must have really been laughing about that one!

[Jeff Clothier]

Speaking of Al Franken, I gotta say I loved every word of his latest book - until the last three pages.

[Steven Crane]

Where's Rod Serling?

[David Tomlin]

I'll bight. What happened on the last three pages?

[David Tomlin]

Ouch!

I do know how to spell "bite".

Honest.

'Of course' is cyanide of the mind.
