    SNL had a pretty funny skit about them last night.

    Haha, that's hilarious. I wish something like that had happened to me when I went on a tour of the Capital.

    This has a travelgate quality about it.

    Nice little tittilating story for the bash-Obama-at-all-costs crowd.

    But essentially an inside-the-Beltway story ... especially to those of us who can't afford health insurance.

    Desiree Rigers gets thrown under the bus in this long story in todays's Times:

    It's interesting when compared to the recent competing, glowing profiles of Rahm Emanual & David Axelrod in the Post and Times respectively:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/19/AR2010021904298.html

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/us/politics/07axelrod.html?pagewanted=all

    It's no longer, "No Drama Obama".

    As he's hit rough patches, it's looking more & more like it's every man for himself within the administration.

    This is inside baseball, politico, drudge headline stuff. It might seem like a big deal to political junkies, but seeing as how
    99 percent of the public doesn't give a crap about the three people and the incident you mentioned, I'd say "every man for himself" is a bit of a leap.

    99 percent of the public has no clue who Rahm Emanuel or David Axelrod are, let alone Desirée Roger. Non story.

    Early indicator of things to come.

    The lugnuts are loose. When the wheel comes off while the car is going 60 MPH down the highway, it will be a story.
