Karl Rove's on jury duty

[Rose Siding]

...Yesterday was shaping up as a routinely dull day in the jury pool holding pen at D.C. Superior Court until a clerk called a couple dozen names into the courtroom of Judge Rafael Diaz. Two immediately greeted each other.

"Hello, Karl," said Madeleine Albright .

"Hello, Madame Secretary," said Karl Rove .

.....Once in the courtroom (a cocaine distribution case), Rove was quickly excused, prompting a wave of huffy our jobs are as important as his! whispers. But, explained White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, "He knew the judge socially": Their kids graduated from high school together. Said another juror: "Somehow I thought his next court appearance would be less mundane."

"Rove and Albright walked into a courtroom..."

Still an interest account of Life in DC.
