At Thursday's White House press briefing, Press Secretary Scott McClellan talked about the East Room event being held later that day to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.
Since a guest list had not yet been released, reporters were asking who would be attending.
Q Scott, as far as who is going to be there today, we heard that tentatively the daughter of President Johnson would be there.
MR. McCLELLAN: I believe that's correct. We'll get you a list of those who will be attending. And I did see her name on the list. So I suspect she will be there.
Q Elijah Cummings -- is Elijah Cummings --
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, I believe we reached out to the Congressional Black Caucus, and he will be here representing the Congressional Black Caucus.
Q NAACP?
MR. McCLELLAN: Let me get you the list. I don't know the entire list, but I do remember those individuals were on there.
Q You said Elijah Cummings?
MR. McCLELLAN: I believe he is attending.
Q And Robert Byrd or Fritz Hollings? They filibustered it.
MR. McCLELLAN: Let me keep moving, Jeff.
This was carried live on CSPIN, CNN, MSNBC.......but not FNC. Pity.
BWA HAHA HA HA HA HA HA!
You stirring the pot again, Jeff?
LOL... I love it!
I confess. I was thinking it and the next thing I knew I was hearing it come out of my mouth.

I am told it will be "new and improved" soon.
From Fritz - "Ya mean dey want me to go to a meetin with all dem Afro-American potentates? Up in da White House. I say, I say ah have to think on that proposition."
