Don't Cry for Me, Joe Trippi
According to Lisa DePaulo's GQ article now making the rounds, Joe Trippi pretty much got stabbed in the back by Howard Dean; he had a distant, disapproving father; and he's way into Kevin Costner movies. Any one of those things would make us cry. But it makes Trippi crya lot:
·On the 300-mile drive between New York and Burlington, "[e]very twenty minutes or so, he gets a little misty." (For the word-problem impaired, that's 15 total.)
·Discussing For Love of the Game , "He gets choked up."
·Upon viewing a crowd of 5,000 supporters, "For a second, his eyes mist up again."
·Giving the campaign workers a pep talk in New York: "'Remember, no matter what happens, he says, 'nobody can ever take this away from you.' He chokes up."
·In Iowa, upon the news that the caucuses are not going well, "He starts to tear up."
That's nineteen times. We're getting choked up just thinking about it.
