Nothing is Amiss. The Architect is Innocent. And Yet ... the Structural Engineer Seems Concerned

Kenneth B. Mehlman, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, former deputy assistant to the president and director of political affairs. "The structural engineer who turns the plans into reality."

Update from the Washington Post:

"The emerging GOP strategy -- devised by [Ken] Mehlman [Rove protege] and other Rove loyalists outside of the White House -- is to try to undermine those Democrats calling for Rove's ouster, play down Rove's role and wait for President Bush's forthcoming Supreme Court selection to drown out the controversy [about whether a CIA agent was outed in retaliation for her husband's highly verbal assertions that the premises on which the nation was to go to war -- presence of WMD -- were flawed, dubious, WRONG], according to several high-level Republicans."

Look for this strategy on your TV soon!

Today's fragrance because I feel very Audrey (having accessorized my black sweats with a single strand of pearls): Divine by Yvon Mouchel. Notes are peach, coriander, gardenia, Indian tuberose, May rose, oak moss, musk, vanilla, spice. It's TOO SWEET. I have big hopes for the emergence of the coriander and oak moss to tone down this tooth-aching SWEETNESS. You know I'm not sweet.
