...Beck ripped her a new one this morning, he was as angry as I’ve ever heard him. I think they tried to make a call...

[In God I trust]

Just sent my first of many emails to our new friend Liz. See email below.

Good morning LIZ, just wanted to wish you a happy friday, LIZZIE.

O’ Liz worked years for many Republican congressmen, before jumping ship and going to work for Democrat McDermott last year.

Too bad we don’t have Liz’s email address - sounds like she could use a little cheering up. -------------------- Yes, like a couple hundred thousand emails directed to "Liz"

Oh that would be rich.

LOL. It would. When you email Liz be sure to let her know how you like your tea, how strong and the correct temperature during your planned visit there.

LOL Bet Lizzy having a wonderful day today! :)

Apparently she is no Clarissa Saunders.

“Who the hell does she think she is?”

She, for a fact, KNOWS she is the gatekeeper to a very powerful man. The fact that the Senator has not canned the (fill in your fav expletive) shows that he accepts if not encourages this kind of behavior.

This kind of petty crap has been around forever - Swift called them “Flappers” in his “Travels” book.

Sent an email saying; “Hi Liz” Good Day. Jane, but you can call me Janey ....

Flaky bureaucratic flunky. How did the NJ DMV let this one get away?

That was good.

Thanks for posting that. Wow - how many times did the poor guy have to say "I am so sorry I offended you!" before Mizzy High and Mighty Lizzie came down from her throne.

Schedulers on the Hill are invariably women who did well performing as the Rush Committee Chair for their sororities. The younger ones tend to be bobble-head types who are enthralled with their proximity to power. The older ones tend to be angry and bitter, since they realize way too late that being a Scheduler is pretty much a dead-end career (unless they end up as the Congressman's trophy wife).

I worked in the Pentagon right after Lewinsky left. I was in her old office by the Joint Staff and spoke to folks there. They said she had absolutely NO idea how Microsoft Word worked, much less what it even was.

Your post reminded me of that conversation.
