I’m sitting on one of the conveniently supplied rocking chairs here at Jacksonville airport. Working through my email now. I liked this one — obviously unverified but entirely plausible — from a reader in response to my earlier post about Steve Hayward sitting next to Lanny Davis:
Jonah,
Not too long ago, I flew from DC to CA sitting next to Joe Wilson. You will not be surprised to learn that he was a jerk. He made sure to talk very loudly on his cell about Cheney and Bush and the latest news with regard to the Plame affair. As he talked, he looked around the plane to make sure that people knew he was Joe Wilson and that he was talking about the Plame affair on his cell phone. He acted like he was a rock star and more than a few passengers on the plane were giving him dirty looks and loud sighs for his boorish behavior. Yeah…he and Val just wanted their anonymity. Best regards. [name withheld]
Meanwhile, not twenty feet from me Tom Daschle is tapping away at his laptop (a Mac user fwiw). I’d bet we’re on the same flight, though I doubt we’ll be sitting next to each other. I’ll let ya know.
