Note that my last cite for "skeeter" upthread was the Twitter update
from White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer (@pfeiffer44),
in which he posted the exculpatory photo and simultaneously ridiculed
the "skeeters." Outgoing White House advisor David Plouffe
(@davidplouffe), for his part, has been tweeting derisively about
"skeet birthers."
