White House Press Corps, MD

Truth be told, my knowledge of fancy media terms doesn’t go much beyond the word aspirin. And it’s always refreshing — and praiseworthy — when the White House press corps acknowledges intellectual limitations.
Still, this reporter’s exchange today with White House press secretary Tony Snow sure is fun to read:
MR. SNOW … So the President is in good health, there was no reason for alarm, fairly routine diagnosis and also procedure and, again, he will next get a colonoscopy three years hence.
Q Could you make that a little bit simpler? I don’t understand all those medical words you used. Is there any trace of cancer?
MR. SNOW: No.
