We've got to hand it to Sean Spicer, the U.S. Trade Representative Office spokesman. The guy knows how to sell his stuff, in this case the pending free trade deal with Colombia. This clip on Fox Business captures him bringing props — Colombian coffee — to highlight the importance of free trade. And he did it on St. Patrick's Day for the show's quirky Happy Hour segment filmed, this day, in an Irish bar. "An Irishman bringing coffee to a bar on St. Patrick's Day. The lengths I will go for the Colombia Trade Agreement," he kidded in an E-mail. See the whole show here.

Whispers (Paul Bedard) is new to Facebook and I'm begging for friends. Log on and friend me.
