DUH. Now why, UD wondered, as she moments ago headed up the Foggy Bottom Metro escalator to GW's campus, why are there white media vans with skyscraper-high antennae sticking out of them on the street in front of her? Why, for that matter, is security at GW Hospital more stringent than usual (UD flashes her i.d. card here every morning she's on campus, in order to get breakfast at the well-located Starbucks on the hospital's first floor), with three guards instead of one? Well, things are always hopping four blocks from the White House... Could be anything... The real question is whether UD wants a cookie or a scone with her latte... Then, as she walked to her office, she realized it's about that Senator from South Dakota whose health crisis might tip the legislative balance of power... Which made the scene kind of icky... a wonk death-watch... |
