I'm linking to the story, but only because of its absurdity. The demise of the White House Social Secretary apparently has provided NY Times reporter Peter Baker some really cool insight into the Obama operation. Seriously? We're in two wars. The White House can't pass its top agenda item, health care reform. The economy is still sputtering. And, the big story today from one of the top political reporters for the New York Times is about Desirée Rogers. Wow. Even Rahm Emanuel is interviewed on this important subject. This paragraph reads like a parody:
Mr. Axelrod called her in for a long conversation about her interviews and photo shoots, warning her explicitly that she was flying into dangerous territory and that Washington loves to watch people become too big and ultimately crash and burn, according to people familiar with the conversation.Yes. That's what "the Villagers" do. In the real world, no one cares.
The Times article does one thing: It puts the Salahis back in the news.
