White House Press Secretary Confiscates Cell Phone

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is used to battling the press and their barrage of questions. But he had another battle to fight Wednesday - the dreaded cell phone.

Reporter John Gizzi's cell phone went off while Gibbs was talking about the President's decision to withhold the release of photos showing the abuse of terror subjects in U.S. custody.

It's not the first time a reporter's phone has gone off during a press conference and Gibbs decided he'd had enough. Gibbs told Gizzi to give him the phone, which got a laugh from the White House press corp. Gibbs walked out of the press briefing room and tossed the phone to someone off camera.

Seconds later, Bill Pante's cell phone went off. But the CBS News reporter decided to walk out of the room instead of handing over the phone. Gibbs called Plante out, saying he must be talking to his banker considering the suit he was wearing.
