So, it's been crazy down here, as expected. I found myself sitting outside on a patio eating dinner with Lisa Ling last night, she ended up buying dinner for the whole table. She's in town because she wants to help give Obama a final push in Texas, but can't do it really publicly since she's on National Geographic, and sometimes, Oprah.
Thursday morning I was whisked into a bathroom and waited a few minutes before this tall dude walks in and answered my questions for seven minutes. Not a bad guy, this Barack Obama character.
But that was just the second best thing to happen to me all week. The real perk was realizing I was sitting in the risers at an event behind Pulitzer-winning, bitingly funny New York Time columnist MAUREEN DOWD! I stalked her until she agreed to a photo. As you can see she was wearing no makeup.
