Full-court press

Feb 9, 2010

LINDA: OK, it's a full-court press this afternoon on this "no drama" thing, people. We're pushing a media narrative that Rep. Geminari "isn't worried".
LINDA: Let's get her in front of calm backdrops: Coffee shops, parks, long walks on the beach. A full relaxation media tour. But NO, I repeat, NO alcohol.
LINDA: All public statements should have a consistent, breezy language. Minimize hard consonants. And we need a personal trainer to work on her posture.
STAFFER: This is a lot of work to look like we don't care. LINDA: That's because we DO care. Now... who knows a good smile consultant?

No drama

Feb 8, 2010

GRIMM: Ma'am, our polling is- DEB: Let's... be BOLD here. Let's take the "NO DRAMA" approach. Let's not let them POLITICIZE this.
GRIMM: But at the very least we- DEB: NO DRAMA!
LINDA: What's the "no drama" approach? GRIMM: "No DRAMA"? "No DRAMA" means "IGNORE IT and hope it just GOES AWAY".
GRIMM: "No DRAMA" means "sit idly BY while decades of PROGRESS are HIJACKED by bitter right-wing IDEOLOGUES"! LINDA: That's... pretty dramatic.
