Twitter user rickrolled by White House

[Vox Ducis]

Twitter and the White House might seem like a dry combination, but even with the debt ceiling coming perilously close to crushing everyone beneath it, the leader of the free world – or at least the people in charge of the White House Twitter feed – found time to have a bit of fun on Wednesday.

How? By rickrolling one of the 2.3 million Twitter users who follow its feed and was complaining that it wasn't very interesting.

"Sorry to hear that. Fiscal policy is important, but can be dry sometimes. Here's something more fun," the White House tweeted. And then it provided a link ... to Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up.

David Wiggs, a self-described "energy tech enthusiast and mediocre golfer" whose tweet – "This WH [White House] correspondence briefing isn't nearly as entertaining as yesterday's" – sparked the outbreak of fun from Pennsylvania Avenue, liked it: "Hilarious", he tweeted, and "Love it!"
(...)
Meanwhile, the deadline for the debt ceiling inched closer on Wednesday night – leading to a dramatic intervention.

This confirms that DC is ruled by a bunch of clowns.

This doesn't reflect the views or the professionalism (or lack thereof) of the US government.

They already make enough real mistakes that we can make fun of, so why do people insist on sensationalizing dumb little stories like this?

Professional? Whenever they get professional they just shoot a guy dead or start droppin bombs.

This is what they need. A little humor to lighten the mood.

All I'm saying is, is that the media will be the media. I thought you should've known that.

Is there a reason why you're trying to start an argument with me? I don't disagree with you.

I don't know why you are mad. You seem to be oblivious that it's media that wrote this, not the OP.

You're taking things way too seriously.

An already dead meme even deader now since it was used by our government.
