White House Basement Dweller Writes Annual Christmas Poem for Press Party

We’re bursting at the seams. A copy of this year’s annual Christmas poem from the White House press basement party has just emerged. The festivities were held today. Putting this historical perspective: It’s the 12th poem in a tradition going back to 1998, recapping some of the past year’s WH events. Joshua Earnest and Nick Shapiro were among the WH Press Office folks on-hand for the party and the poem reading. Nuggets included cracks on the first lady’s quest for a national ban on dessert, shellacking, Slurpees, Biden’s BFD remark, Gibbs irking the “professional left” and Bubba under the press’s spell.

SRN News White House Correspondent Greg Clugston wrote the poem.
