Please call Mr. Fitzgerald and ask him to hold off on any announcements till I get back.
Busy morning coming up. Time only to check Josh Marshall and find out that Berlusconi is coming to lunch at the White House in a few days. Also, kindly call Andy Card and find out whether I (or Nur al-Cubicle) could be designated official "fly-on-wall" during that little meeting. Take notes on what they eat. Any yellow cake served? Were there favors inside? Little guarantees of favored nation status when it comes to divvying up the world's last pint of oil? Was Berlusconi in Halloween costume? Maybe little red diavolo?
Ciao.
