First Family Shakeup – Funny

From First Family Shakeup, by Ruth Marcus, in yesterday’s Washington Post:

Dear Daughters Jenna and Barbara,

This is a difficult letter for me, your Dad, to write.  * * *

Please, girls, don’t take this personally. Andy didn’t, and he’s been with the family almost as long. Definitely, we will spin this to the press as your decision entirely. You know, needing a break, this job chews you up, exhausted after five long years of late nights at Smith Point, want a chance to spend more time with your … never mind, we’ll go with the need-a-break part. And no one can take away from your achievements: You have been two of the longest-serving presidential daughter twins in history.

Anyway, the Josh-for-Andy swap didn’t play quite as big as we hoped. Now, I’m getting killed with this general-a-day drumbeat on Rummy. So Uncle Don and Uncle Dick came up with this idea of replacing you two.

Read it all.
