“Put your tongue to the grindstone.” That’s what Bill told me Sunday morning. That’s what I did. He likes tongue jokes.
Bill went back to Little Rock for the 50th anniversary of the integration of the city’s Central High School and I had the whole day to myself. Except for those 17 different interviews and appearances. Give or take. Before lunch. Talk, talk, talk.
Think of it as America’s Tour de Hillary. Meet the Press was my favorite. Tim Russert is such a cherub. Wouldn’t he make a great White House press secretary? The guy always smiles. He’d be perfect. He’s got hair and a career to go back to which makes him a better fit than Tony Snow. Alan Greenspan was there, too. Honestly, I thought he died already.
Off camera I asked Tim, “Am I the only one who noticed that Senator Obama keeps missing key senate votes? Why is that?” Tim said, “Money?” Smart guy, but he answered a question with a question. Obviously, it means more to Obama to collect money than it does to represent the people of Illinois, so he stays on the campaign trail all the time. Where’s the press coverage of that, Tim?
Obama’s coming to New York to beg for money, uh, campaign this week. He goes for money in person. It’s nice when you don’t have to do that. Being the front runner has advantages. Like dangling a little VP bling here and there. Don’t tell anyone, but Senator Evan Bayh is ready to endorse Clinton for President. I think of him as Al Gore with less of an appetite.
Speaking of appetites, doesn’t Tim Russert look like Chucky? There is something evil in that cherubic grin.
