President Bush’s inaugural committee took press handling to new levels of silliness during the various presidential balls, reports Paul Farhi. “Several reporters covering the balls were surprised to find themselves being monitored by young ‘escorts,’ who followed them from hors d’oeuvres table to dance floor and even to the bathroom.” Farhi broke free for a while, but was eventually caught by an angry escort. She barked at Farhi: “You ignored the rules, and I’m throwing you out! You told that girl you didn’t need an escort. That’s a lie! You’re out of here!”
