Photo Shows Obama Speechwriter, Spokesman Playing Beer Pong Sans Shirts

All work and no beer pong makes Jack a dull boy?

White House Spokesman Tommy Vietor and Chief Speechwriter Jon Favreau may have been caught red cup-handed, with their shirts off, standing around a beer pong table at Washington, D.C. bar and restaurant Old Glory over the weekend, according to the celeb-spotter website FamousDC.com.

The photo allegedly shows Vietor and Favreau, both age 29, surrounded by a group of other revelers, cast in celestial beams of light so bright they are apparently forcing the two muscular lads to don their shades.

The two Obama administration phenoms were getting their daytime drink on over the weekend, as Beer Pong News (yes! it's an actual news service!) pointed out, while relief crews were slogging around beaches of crude oil and cleaning birds covered in the deadly muck, and the stock market was fresh off a beat down delivered by a discouraging unemployment report.

Favreau watchers will recall that this is the second time he's been bitten by the wily ways of photos and the internet; an unfortunate photo of him groping a life-sized cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton made its way onto Facebook in 2008, shortly after Obama had appointed Clinton to be his secretary of state.

No word yet from the White House on whether or not this was an officially-sanctioned "Beer Summit," a la President Obama's with Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. last year.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
