    Soon-to-be-unemployed White House spokesmodel Dana Perino spared no reporter her snappy wit and dazzling repartee on her next-to-last press conference.

    When asked if the President had any last minute pardons in the pipeline, Ms. Perino replied, "I just have you talk to the hand when it comes to pardons. But I don't - we have never talked about them from here, in terms of what may or may not be coming, and I'm not going to start on - five days to go. ... I don't anticipate that you'll have any, necessarily, on the 20th."

    Oh, snap, Dana! You go girl!

    Watch below (video via Think Progress). I'll surely miss Perino - Bob Gibbs doesn't seem anywhere near as fun.
