ARI FLEISCHER: …Earlier this morning, too, the President called Arizona Diamondbacks owner Jerry Colangelo to congratulate the Diamonds on their victory in the World Series.
Q. Did that hurt you? (Laughter.)
MR. FLEISCHER: The question was: did that hurt me. I fully support the activities of the President at all times, even in this one as a Yankee fan. Thank you for asking.
Q. Did he call the Yankees?
Q. Did he call Mayor Giuliani?
MR. FLEISCHER: That’s the only call that I’m aware of. Thank you for inflicting that pain on me this early in the briefing.
Q. At least it’s out of the way. (Laughter.)
