Fishbowl D.C's weekly roundup of White House media pool reports includes this gem about events last weekend:
"On a cloudless beautiful Sunday, 10 motorcyles rumbled up the South Lawn drive at the White House at about 12:35 p.m. Most of the bikes were Harley-Davidsons; at least two were Hondas. ... Four Bush administration officials were among the group, including well-known Harley fan and White House chief of staff Josh Bolten, wearing a black collared shirt and jeans; Transportation Secretary Mary Peters (simple white shirt); and Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer (blue casual oxford). But the award for best stepping into character goes to Edward P. 'Eddie' Lazear, chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, who sported a leather Harley vest and a black bandana wrapped around his head. All of the Bushies appeared to be riding Harleys and everyone wore helmets. Lazear told the pool he borrowed his bike from a Virginia dealer." -- Dan Eggen, The Washington Post.
