Dana Perino seems very sad, trying to hold together emotionally.

I notice Perino made a remark about Tony returning to the WH podium. But I wonder if Tony will step down as press secretary. A new round of intensive chemotherapy means he would probably be gone for many months and would really need to avoid stress.

Dana conveyed Tony's remarks about the Dims loading up the defense bill with pork. She said he's hot on that topic. The press isn't interested in that now, they're asking about Tony's condition.

I think it really is a White House family, especially now, and she's just a lovely person who you can tell is very saddened by this.

Can I say: shut up, Helen??
