Just got an email from the Presidential Inaugural Committee with this headline:
Presidential Inaugural Committee Announces Bipartisan Leaders to Serve as Mistress and Masters of Ceremonies and Introducers for Bipartisan DinnersThen, there was this subhead announcing the key players:
Veteran Republican Senators Warner, Hagel and Graham to Play Key Role in Dinners on Eve of Inauguration to Highlight President Elect Obama's Commitment to Renew Bipartisan CooperationWhen I first saw it, I thought "is this a joke?" I mean, among John Warner, Chuck Hagel and Lindsey Graham, it's so obvious to us which one the "mistress" is. Don't ask, and I won't tell.
You actually have to read further into the press release to know that, in fact, one of the dinners does have a "mistress" of ceremonies.
