DC Charlie in the news again!
excerpted from Fox News Speaker's Lobby blog, April 24, 2009:
The “advanced interrogation methods” continued for 20 minutes. But a moment that tested the limits of the “Cute-o-meter” came when three-year-old Charlie Wooters (son to Pelosi aide Stacy Kerr) offered this non-sequitur.
“Why do you have chocolate, because you have flags?” Charlie asked of Madam Speaker.
Certainly Charlie’s interrogatory ranks up there with some of the great metaphysical questions of our time. Kind of like Pink Floyd’s “How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?” on Another Brick in the Wall.
Like an observant reporter, Charlie was merely noting the phalanx of American flags situated behind the Speaker and a tray of chocolate “coins” resting near her feet. Gold tinfoil encased the chocolates, each embossed with Speaker’s seal on the side.
Still, Pelosi fielded Charlie’s inquiry in stride.
“Chocolate and flags, what could be more natural?” said the Speaker.
But Pelosi’s been around kids for more than 40 years. She knew this was code for something else.
“I think Charlie is hinting that it is time to give out the candy,” she added.
In this case, no “advanced interrogation method” was necessary. Charlie simply used a direct and time-honored ploy to coax a mother and a grandmother to hand out the goodies to the children she adores.
