WH Pool Report: Double Super-Secret Address
In this White House pool report, someone gets a little grumbly about the administration's even-for-them unprecedented crackdown on access:
As promised, your pool was left outside of the President Bush's remarks to "Political Appointees and Senior Executive Service Employees." So we don't have a clue what was said or done in there. Were secret decoder rings handed out? Did they change the official Team Bush handshake? Was line dancing allowed? We just don't know. What your pooler does know is that in past administrations when your pool was allowed into similar speeches, they were pep talks from presidents grateful for the employees' service. Best to call the bevy of leakers who can shed some light on this top-secret event.
Leakers? There are no leakers in the Bush White House!

White House to DAR Constitution Hall
Motorcade ride was event-free and without incident -- not to mention nothing happened. It took us 45 seconds to get there, but it was a minute-long ride on the way back. Hmmmm, a very mysterious 15-second deficit, no? Newswise, we did use "some" gasoline for this two-block ride.
