Protestors in pelts; where’s PETA? And Deborah Norville thought she had to wear a cloth coat!?
THE CHARACTERS ARRIVE IN D.C.
By Cindy Adams
WASHINGTON — Wednesday, Penn Station looked like a TV station. Harry Smith, wheeling his own luggage appeared as schlubby as the rest of us. CNN's Anderson Cooper was in a crappy T-shirt. "So where are you staying Anderson? "Who knows." They're putting us up in some dump," he said. Bill Hemmer, reading the New York Post, sighed, "Fifteen minutes ago I was at La Guardia. There's a whiteout in D.C., so here I am catching a train."
Our leaders show power when it comes to Iraq, but they cower when it comes to snow. Planes here were cancelled, roads closed, schools shut, appointments delayed, vehicles abandoned — and they had one lousy inch of white stuff. I have more than that in dandruff.
…
Deborah Norville, "For Reagan's swearing-in I reported from a roof. Today again, it's a roof. To keep warm, I'm wearing two turtlenecks, a cloth coat because this is Washington and since views can't see my feet, old granny lace-up boots."
