“I hope it didn’t catch me doublefisting; that’s so hard to explain to people who don’t understand the need for two BlackBerries.”

OK, count me as one who doesn’t understand the need for 2 BBs!?

Care to explain?

7:29:19 PM And finally, a question from Chip - travelling press, and I gather the recent victim of some sort of misfortune, since Obama begins by telling him that his thoughts are with him."

From CBS news;

The reason the president offered his condolences is that Reid's father passed away shortly after the correspondent arrived in London to cover the president's trip to Europe.

Nice personal touch.

BTW

” 6:42:55 PM
Interesting – a not-so-veiled shot at certain commentators – including of a journalistic persuasion – for suggesting that a lively debate over different approaches constituted a quagmire of planetarily dysfunctional proportions.”

We come for the information.

“I’m sure it wasn’t related, but a small gaggle of reporters who were sitting in this session just stood up, en masse, and left — to get closer or depart in a huff? Who knows, really.”

But we stay for the snark.

“North America is an island, sort of.”

It’s a continent. As you know, Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are in-continent, whereas Europe, for example, is quite regular.

BTW, champion bit of courageous hang-tough reporting, Kady. I hope your employer is grateful, ’cause we are.

“I just realized that I’ve been unconsciously waiting for him to switch into French.”

That line alone earned you a nice evening off.

Our Intrepid ITQ exits stage left, steel thumbs glowing deep red.
Fish and chips indeed. And what about that pint? Guinness?
Also picture of you with Big Ben growing out your head?
When do you return to our maple-leafed shores?
A tumultuous throng will surely greet you in triumph!
Sleep well.

Agreed. Thanks Kady, have enjoyed your dispatches the past couple of days. Now is definitely the time to go out and get bladdered on pints of Bass.

The Brit Secret Service – such as it is – is MI6 (sort of James Bond-ish)!
Dignitaries – like the Queen – are usually offered protection from specially seconded officers of the Metrolitan Police – I think!
So – how many are protecting you Kady? And do they refer to you as Gov or Mum?
