uruloki’s lair

A couple of weeks ago, a picture was published which shows that Senator Kerry was sitting alone in one of the IZ DFACs. It is claimed that he was having “an off the record conversation with two reporters.” Sure, that sounds like a reasonable explanation and we’ll even allow for plausability. Let’s just talk about the DFAC arrangements a little bit though. In the IZ, you have more self-important snobs than probably anywhere outside of the Quai d’Orsay or Washington, DC. One of the things which the organizers of events like Sen Kerry’s jaunt to Iraq have the option of doing is getting a private room in the DFACs unless the primary requests an open forum. My favorite places in DFACs are usually those rooms (when they aren’t reserved) as they are much quieter than the main room in the DFAC. In fact, the main room is probably the last place on Earth that you want to have a conversation that is off the record as at least three tables worth of people can hear you (even if you do think they are stupid). Not to mention that the main rooms are loud with close to 200 people eating and talking. Given the time frame involved, we’re also looking at one of the busiest meals of the day during peak hours and they happen to have an empty table (which seats upwards of eight people) for you.

So, while you’re having a quiet little conversation for three, how was the rest of the trip? I know for a fact that there were three people in our area interested in meeting the individual while the normal turnout for people like him is upwards of a dozen. Bill O’Reilly was the desired meet’n’greet that day…
