Update: Exclusive photo of the radio! It's a nice radio, too, an HD radio. Must get a great picture. 
On top of the radio were business cards from WTOP Vice President Jim Farley, and HD Radio Director Richard Greenhut. Briefing transcript here.
At the end of today's briefing, WTOP's Mark Plotkin surprised Press Secretary Robert Gibbs with the gift of a radio, as Gibbs was about to exit the stage. Gibbs had mentioned needing a radio at yesterday's briefing.
After some jokey back-and-forth, though, Plotkin began to press Gibbs on the DC Voting Rights Act, rattling off President Obama's DC election results, even asking if the administration were being "ingrates."
April Ryan from AURN commented, "That's a good way to get in a question."
I replied, "Yeah, your last question."
Gibbs deflected the barrage, asnd was sure to let us know that he couldn't keep the radio. I resisted the urge to yell, "What about DVDs?"
Look for the video soon, as this was a very Youtube-friendly exchange.
