From the road....
Apr. 26th, 2007 01:35 pmNow here's something you don't get to experience every day.
I just finished Court Hearing #1 on this trip. It was in the downtown Rochester federal building, on the same floor as the divisional station of the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Client was waiting for me at the elevator. "Um, I'm not sure, but I think you just missed Alberto Gonzales. He just walked out of that hallway ::gestures towards the U.S. Attorney's Office:: and it sure looked like him."
Well, yeah, that was him. I'd heard on the news on the way in that he was doing some kind of photo op here, no doubt to get peoples' minds off his other issues.
"I bet the U.S. Attorney was real happy to see him," I replied. "Probably barred the door with office furniture and started crying out the window, NOOOOOO, DON'T FIRE ME!!!"
And I'm not sure, but I think I saw Karl Rove hiding in the bushes in front of the tacky 70s sculpture. Arright, I made that last part up. But it's not like he hasn't done it before; Wait Wait reported a few weeks back that Rove was seen in the wings of a Rose Garden during one of Shrub's speeches; there was no word on whether he was impressing people again by making the President's lips move while swallowing a glass of water.

Right. Onward and eastward.
