The Media Introduces Dana Perino!
Dana Perino is filling in as WH Press Secretary while Tony Snow undergoes treatment for his recently (and regretfully) returned cancer. What does the Washington Post have to say about Dana?
Perino, who is diminutive even in two-inch heels, affects none of the world-weary cynicism of many veteran spokesmen. When telling reporters Tuesday that everyone is rooting for Snow to return to work soon, she added with a nervous laugh, “I certainly hope so,” adding that if she thought he were watching at the moment, she’d “start blushing.” (Snow later told Perino that she had done quite well.)
…
Perino hasn’t gotten any in-person support from her husband, British businessman Peter McMahon, who frequently travels overseas for the medical marketing company he founded and is in South Africa this week.
Uh ho. Looks like wee Dana isn’t getting as much support from hubby as Nancy Pelosi. How will she cope?
She has been comforted, however, by the other resident of their Capitol Hill home, a short-haired vizsla named Henry.
Anything else we should know about the perky, be-bobbed Perino?
A Colorado native whose father had her read the Denver newspapers as a third-grader and pick out articles for dinnertime discussion…
In 1997, while working as a congressional press secretary, Perino met McMahon on a plane. “I loved his accent,” she says. Seven months after their first date, she moved to Britain, and they were married four months after that.
Well, now that I know about her dad and more about her husband, I guess we can just fill in the details about the rest of her life. The Post mentions she worked for some tv station, moved to England, and then two more pieces of info about 2001 and 2005.
Gee, is there anything else we should know? Does she totally love cosmos?
Despite the sudden attention, Perino takes pains to emphasize that she is merely a temporary replacement for Snow.
“Tony has really big shoes to fill,” she says. “I’m a size 6.”
That is so adorable and ladylike. I can’t believe her husband isn’t more supportive! Boo!
Via WaPo. Boo.
