When asked whatโ€™s going on with the Secret Service, he said, โ€œItโ€™s a secret.โ€ Thompson joked that the White House intruder was actually able to get all the way to the Lincoln Bedroom and had time to order a sandwich and start watching the Obama familyโ€™s personal copy of Lee Danielsโ€™ The Butler,ย and wasnโ€™t apprehended for an hour, the site says.

Further, he read โ€œPBSโ€ as โ€œPubisโ€ while attempting to explain statistics on Americaโ€™s gun culture, โ€œand promised to do everything he can to protect President Obamaโ€”that is, every weeknight from 6 to 7 p.m.,โ€ the report says.
