The White House today was asked for comment on a crowd that assembled on Capitol Hill to protest healthcare legislation.

‘I’m sure there’s a Jon Voight joke in here somewhere, given he was one of the featured speakers,’’ White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said of the activist actor who had a few choice words for the White House this week.

‘You’re not even going to try and make it?’’ a reporter asked.

‘No,’’ Gibbs said. ‘My father always told me my mouth would get me in trouble.’
