...happening." "How are we doing?" he'd ask, actually wanting to know about those of us still in the trenches and to get caught up on the latest gossip. He'd always have plenty of it himself, often providing delicious tidbits that had eluded those of us covering the Oval Office. When I had questions about the Bush White House, I'd often run them by Hugh and I'd find he'd have nuggets like how the 41st president loved to email friends racy jokes and how father and son had stopped talking about the war.

She was presented in the Oval Office but, as if that location were jinxed, Alito, like Roberts, was introduced in the Cross Hall, near the Bill Clinton portrait, with Chief of Staff Andrew Card and Counselor Dan Bartlett on hand. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Republican of Tennessee, who had mostly held his tongue about how annoyed he was about the Miers choice, finally had something to smile about. "If the Democrats look for a fight, we'll be there ready to fight," he said on Fox News...
