Waiting for Joe and Bill (Orlando Sentinel)

EmailTwitterFacebookLinkedInYoutube

Posted by BShaw, Orlando Sentinel: "Not looking for sympathy here, but the life of a political reporter isn’t all champagne and canapes.

"Consider our man Scott Powers, who was sent over to the Winter Park home of Alan Ginsburg this morning as the designated “pool reporter” — aka scribe — for the fundraiser where Vice President Joe Biden is appearing on behalf of U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.

"Turns out the veep hadn’t arrived, but about 150 guests (minimum donation $500) were already in the house. So to prevent Scott from mingling with the crowd, a member of Biden’s advance team consigned him to a storage closet — and then stood outside the door to make sure he didn’t walk out without permission.

Scott e-mailed us this photo from his temporary prison. 'Sounds like a nice party,' he wrote."
