Bill Murray crashes White House press briefing wearing full Cubs garb

[icymist]

WASHINGTON — Bill Murray, wearing Cubs gear head to toe, made a surprise visit to the White House Briefing Room Friday afternoon.

Known for showing up unexpectedly, the comic legend crashed a press conference and took to the mics to engage reporters.

“I feel very confident that Clayton Kershaw is a great, great pitcher, but we got too many sticks, we got too many sticks,” Murray said. “At home, our crowd, the weather. We get a little bit of autumn in Chicago, you don’t get that in Los Angeles. Trees just die in Los Angeles. In Illinois they flourish.

He even joked that the press needs ice luges instead of coffee machines.

1. I've been hoping Elwood Blues would make an appearance, but I guess he's in his hidey-hole...

5. I visited 1060 West Addison once

It was a day game, of course, because they hadn't installed the damn lights. The Mets beat the Cubs in extra innings. It was the Mets 100th win of the season, and they went on to win the World Series.

Totally cool place to visit, but I missed Elwood. I suspect he was visiting his brother, Jake, up in the big house in Joliet.

Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
