Ewwwwwwww! Thanks for that mental image. ;>}
Flied Lice can be expensive..
Tina Tchen has plenty of qualities that made her a logical choice as Michelle Obama’s top aide, but here’s a key attribute:
Tchen sleeps only four hours a night.
Appointed Wednesday as chief of staff to the first lady, Tchen cited a “biological-clock thing” in explaining why she sleeps only from 2 a.m. to 6. “I have the good fortune to not need a lot of sleep,” she said. “That’s been a great gift.”
The other 20 hours a day, Tchen earns a reputation as “driven” and “indefatigable” and “phenomenally brilliant,” according to friends and colleagues.
A longtime Democratic activist, Tchen was as a partner in corporate litigation in the Chicago office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
Her job has seen her serving as the “front door of the White House.” A highlight, she said, was assembling supporters Dec. 22 when Obama signed the measure to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.
Married briefly with a young son, then divorced, her ex-husband, Larry Pressl, died in 2000 of a heart attack. He was 44.
Their son, Patrick, is 22, and Tchen’s daughter, Emma, adopted in China, is 14.
House Democrat Jan Schakowsky of Evanston has known Tchen for 20-plus years; they celebrated New Year’s Eve together with mutual friends in Chicago.
Heavy drinking in the afternoon will do that for you.
Chicago Way mafia keeps on keepin’ on.
Watch him. He has been known to stab his own people in the back.
We need an Amendment that forces every First Family vaca to include one randomly selected SNAP beneficiary family to “keep it real.”
Really get down with the people for a few days of close quarters one-on-one.
It's just me, but I'd rather have my friends and colleagues describe me as "Honest" and "Forthright" and "Of good character and high integrity".
"Driven" and "Indefatigable" sounds like "she's a Major League PITA" to me, especially as she's a lawyer.
WBill Jr, who I often tell "You're a good kid", has taken to calling me "A Good Dad". He doesn't realize it, hut that's likely the highest compliment I could ever be paid.
Office of Public Engagement...
What a pile...
She is how messages get passed between White House and OFA/SEIU/IRS/UAW without Obama getting his finger prints on it.
“The peasants have no bread!” - “Let them eat cake!” \s
Whew! Doesn’t even look like a man! WHAT are we dealing with?
Honey boo boo’s clan? Now that could be funny. Er, probably not.
Hey folks here’s the story ‘bout Michiee the Moocher
She was a lowdown hoocie coocher...
Hidehidehidehi!
LOL! My wife REALLY HATES that song. Guess what her name is. ;>} (Hint. The last line has something to do with it.)
Cue Austin Powers.
That’s a man baby.
Could Austin deliver a roundhouse? Hmmm. Or was that a jab. We had watched all 3 and later (a few years) we got the complete collection of James Bond movies. THEN Mama understood the satire since she hadn’t seen a lot(or most) of the 007 movies.
