WASHINGTON � Robert Gibbs is a jersey boy now.

The White House spokesman came to his daily on-camera briefing on Friday wearing a red-and-white Canadian hockey jersey � the result of not one, but two losing bets on the U.S.-Canadian rivalry at the recent Winter Olympics.
The first wager was on the women�s gold medal game. Canada won.
Then it was the men�s contest, and Gibbs went double-or-nothing with Dimitri Soudas, who�s the spokesman for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Gold again for Canada.
Not to worry, America. Gibbs soon yanked off the Canadian jersey to reveal a �USA� one underneath.
