protein wisdom’s 55th Presidential Inauguration coverage, 2

So I’m standing along the parade route after the President’s speech (“we’re going to fix the world with freedom, blah blah blah”) chatting up FOXNews’ Molly Henneberg, who is readying herself for a live spot on Brit Hume’s Inauguration Special—when all of a sudden a cold wind gusts off the Potomac and tips one of the camera lights, a metal shutter-edge from which drops like a guillotine blade and slices Henneberg’s cheek just above those beautiful farmgirl lips. 

Happily, though, the cut isn’t too bad, and I happen to have a clean hanky with me, as well as a tube of Neosporin (which I keep for just such an occasion).  Long story short?—we dress and close the wound, remove some of the Neosporin shine with a few quick pats of a compact puff, and Henneberg is able to give her report with very little discomfort.  Afterwards, we run over to one of the medical tents for a quick Tetanis booster and a more thorough dressing.

Anyway, as a measure of thanks, she’s insisting on taking me to Georgetown for a late lunch—and maybe a few cocktails—after the parade.  From there, she says, we’ll “kinda play it by ear.”

Which is cool by me.

    You go girl!

  2. Alex says:

    Molly Henneberg is better than Nina Totenberg any day.

  3. JFH says:

    Hmm, it looked to me like she was holding a tissue not a hanky, but obviously I’m wrong… (And I could swear it was before the speech, man, my memory is really going)

  4. Jim in Chicago says:

    JFH, c’mon man, Jeff was there, I thinks he knows better than you what happened.

  5. JFH says:

    Jim,

    I know Jeff IS there, I was just commenting on how my memory is really going (serves me right for starting the celebrating with mimosas this morning, and now I’ve already opened a cheap bottle of “Cab”)

  6. norbizness says:

    Her, right? Well, Mazel Tov! May you find an unoccupied Burger King bathroom for any busitude (the state of getting or being busy)that might result!

  7. Jeff, Good to know that you clearly prefer blondes.

  8. Jeff Goldstein says:

    And yet my wife’s hair is jet black.  Weird.

  9. shank says:

    that bitch is kicked in.  I’d throw it at michelle malkin before I’d beg that henneberg woman into the alleyway.  Malkin’s a real dirty bird BTW.  That and she wants me dude.

  10. Ok, well you clearly prefer blondes in your blog then.

  11. Just since I have been reading, there has been Teri, Anna Nicole, Ann Coulter (your thing with her at the convention), and even Martha.

    Well, there is real life, and then there is…this.

    Shannon Elizabeth ain’t no blonde.  But with those nipples, who cares….

  13. Master of None says:

    No, she’s clearly a <a href=http://movie-cast.com/shannon.jpg>brunette</a>

  14. that link isn’t working, sorry, she just had lightened her hair, no nipples anyway, so you wouldn’t be interested anyway…wink

  15. Master of None says:

    OK, so that didn’t work quite right.

  16. McGehee says:

    Quotation marks, MoN. Quotation marks.

  17. Master of None says:

    No, she’s clearly a brunette

    Thanks McGehee
