Cabinet Goes Comedy
Having pretty much failed with every other attempt to move poll numbers in its direction, the Bush administration is dispatching one of its minions to the late-night place that has become a leading source of news for many Americans.
Education Secretary Margaret Spellings on Tuesday will become the first member of the Bush cabinet to appear on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”
Tune in at 11 p.m. EDT to see what the secretary will say and which, if any, eyeglasses she will choose from her collection. (Late update: Word from the department is it will be orange-framed glasses in a nod to the University of Texas. Somewhat curious in light of Ms. Spellings’ degree from the University of Houston.)
Ms. Spellings is not camera-shy. The Department of Education home page (ed.gov) includes five photos of the secretary.
