"FacebookPinterestAFP/Getty Images\n\nA couple of weeks ago we took a gratuitous shot at White House photographer Pete Souza for stinking it up in the early rounds of the White House NCAA pool. Well, wouldn't you know it, Souza has bounced back from 245th place to a respectable 34th, and took to Twitter to have his say-so: \"hey @reidcherlin 3 out of 4 in Final Four. Not bad after you trashed my bracket in GQ,\" he wrote. Touch\u00E9! I'm not prepared to issue a full-on apology at this time, but Pete, I want you to know that if you were to photo-shop me into that Bin Laden Situation Room pic, I'd certainly consider it.\n\nMeanwhile, last week's golden boy, Ben Milakofsky of the Department of the Interior, has fallen to sixth place, replaced at number one by Jason Green, an affable lawyer in the office of the White House Counsel. Close on his heels in the two slot, however, is Brian Deese, Deputy Director of the National Economic Council and #31 on GQ's D.C. Power List. Both have Kentucky going all the way. President Obama has improved modestly to a tie for 15th place, but having picked North Carolina to win the championship, his hopes appear to be fading. No word yet on whether there's a Supreme Court pool going on at the same time.\n\n Read more on Death Race 2012\n\n\"They Shoot Bunnies, Don't They?
