What the press secretary meant to say was…
“The President will drink Bud Light. As I understand it — I have not heard this, I’ve read this, so I’ll just repeat what I’ve read, that Professor Gates said he liked Red Stripe, and I believe Sergeant Crowley mentioned to the President that he liked Blue Moon.”
- White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
(via HuffPo)
Let me translate.
“The President will be drinking Poland Spring. He enjoys the taste of water and running to the bathroom, and he wants an excuse to leave this phony photo op as soon as possible. Professor Gates said he wanted a Red Stripe and a blunt and asked if we could hold the meeting on a stoop in the Bronx. Sergeant Crowley asked for a Blue Moon because he likes good beer, especially beer made in one of the whitest cities in the world (Denver). He’s totes not a racist.”
