11 April 2007

Our White House correspondent just called into the bureau. Not to tell us about some nugget of news we needed to get into the show or some big event we need to plan for. He called because a 10" FISH fell out of the sky and nearly hit him when he was doing a live shot. Seriously. We think a bird must have plucked the unlucky fish from the nearby Potomac River and just dropped it as it flew by. We checked the tape and we didn't see the fish actually falling--but we do have video of the aftermath of the fish (still breathing) on the White House lawn. Apparently our reporter or the crew didn't perform mouth-to-gill recussitation.
