The Note

October 27, 2004

Thanks to the recent New Yorker profile of ABC's Mark Halperin, I am now a devotee of The Note, a daily political cheat sheet for inside-inside baseball. If you ever wondered where all those talking heads get their talking points, look no further. Not to mention plenty of minutiae from the world of back-office politics. For example, from today's edition:

10:55 am — football tossing begins in war room.

11:20 am — first injury from football toss occurs; tossers admonished to stop; they stop.

11:25 am — football tossing begins again.

11:45 am — still seeing stars from being struck by football, rare woman operative in war room announces — to no one in particular — that there will be no football tossing in the Hillary war room.
