Table Talk
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow had the courage to ask a fellow attendee the question on everyone’s mind at the white-tie dinner for Queen Elizabeth: Rent or own?
The query pertained to the ultra-formal attire for the event, which required tails - a garment absent from most American closets - for men.
NFL Director of Football Operations Gene Washington, seated next to Snow’s wife, said he owns.
“Yeah, til Wednesday,” Snow said Washington told him.
For the record, Snow is an owner, having procured tails several years ago for the annual Gridiron dinner in Washington.
The president? “Owns,” says spokeswoman Dana Perino.
