Deflate-gate: White House Pokes Fun at Tom Brady

— -- White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest weighed in on "deflate-gate" today, having a little fun at Tom Brady’s expense.

“For years, it's been clear that there is no risk that I was going to take Tom Brady's job as quarterback of the New England Patriots. But I can tell you that as of today, it's pretty clear that there's no risk of him taking my job either,” he joked of Brady’s widely-panned news conference Thursday and failure to explain the team's alleged use of deflated footballs.

“That was kind of fun, right?” Earnest proudly boasted of his zinger. “Actually, I came up with that on my own.”
