During the White House Press Briefing this afternoon, one of the reporter’s cell phones went off. The ringtone was a rooster crow, causing reporters to snort with laughter as White House Press Secretary Jay Carney paused during the briefing.

“That is humiliating,” Carney said. “For Hans.”

“You guys, somebody has got to find out who that is – a specialized ring,” Carney added.
