Nixon in the Oven
“Hmm, why is there a 16 day gap here?”
Smith’s morning news browse is like a conversation. He feeds me tidbits.
I ask, “what 16-day gap?”
“Congress House and Senate Judiciary Committe subpoenaed White House e-mails to investigate the attorney firings. Sixteen days of e-mail are missing.”
I think it’s the little technical things that are going to trip this administration up. They’re tripping over their own shoelaces.
“Harrumf,” I say. “Shades of Nixon but worse.”
“Yeah, much much worse.” He coughs soberly, then clears his throat.
“You know I’ve learned how to do a lot of things with my voice after having had cancer of the larynx.” He considers this a minute then growls, “I’m gonna grease yr grill…”
“Yeah?” I coo.
“I’m gonna grease yr grill, ya little oven lovin muffin…”
