Fox News' Wendell Goler with other rowdy members of the press corps and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs had this priceless exchange in today's otherwise quiet press briefing...

Q: We're talking Blue Moon, Red Stripe, Becks --

MR. GIBBS: What's wrong with Budweiser? Why do you hate Budweiser? (Laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: The mortgage services meeting is tomorrow. Apparently this has nothing to do -- (laughter) -- unclear whether beer will be served at that meeting and what it will be. (Laughter.) So we'll go on the beer run together and pick it up in anticipation of the meeting.

Q: Pretzel or chips?

MR. GIBBS: We're just going to go straight beer. No sense in diluting it.
