Operator, oh could you help me place this call?

You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded. -- Jim Croce 'Operator,' 1972

The Obama administration, the folks that want to run our health care and who knows how much else of our economy and our lives, can't get a simple phone call through to one of its former officials.

In this afternoon's press conference, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs repeatedly said that the Obama administration, through the person of its Agriculture Secretary, has tried but failed to have a phone conversation with Shirley Sherrod, the USDA official it forced out yesterday.

It's because she doesn't trust whitey.

She supposedly already collected $13 Million from a civil rights discrimination case before she took this job. If so, why is she working? Answer: So she can fall into another “discrimination” situation and get more money (and she did).

Prophetic?

the Obama administration, through the person of its Agriculture Secretary, has tried but failed to have a phone conversation

That'll be the (not-soon-enough!) epitaph...

There is no need to pimp for the opposition.

Gotta get a message through
Cause I think I’m losing you
Am I too late?
Drinking heavy, trying to lose some time
I gotta know if you’re still mine
And I can’t wait
Last time I saw your face
You tried to hide the tears
But I could see the trace
I’d be there if I could
But it’s so far away from home
Lost in Washington

In the dark the vultures wait
I can hear them
Knocking at my gate
But I’m not here
The brew is cold
The meat is stale
In the DC night the sirens wail
The song you can feel
Pale stars that never shine
Scotch and the whiskey
And the Rainbow local wine
She’s done more bad than good
I gotta get away somehow
Lost in Washington

On the streets the sun is fine
Don’t you feel the advantage hit your mind
Feels all right, oh yeah
But I’m a lover
Like a loaded gun
Chasing shadows on the run
Out in the night
gonna lose I’m afraid
If I been losing you
To pay for Cap’n’Trade
Get back and love what I should
Gotta get back home to you
You don’t know what I’ve been through
But there’s nothing I can’t do,
Lost in Washington

(Apologies to Richie Blackmore and Rainbow)

“There is no need to pimp for the opposition.”

Who is the opposition you’re referring to? The original link I provided is to NewsBusters, a conservative site that critiques the liberal media.
