Gotta Love DC
Sue was always closer to her two weird uncles than she ever was to the rest of the family - even her own parents. Uncle Manny died before she met Ralph but he gave her three very valuable abilities: the ability to speak (and swear in) Yiddish, the ability to play poker and figure odds for the ponies, and, lastly, an appreciation for who did what in government and to watch where the votes and money went in any given situation. Once you got used to it, it was a lot like playing with the high rollers in Atlantic City - politics, breeding, violence, smiles, and some seriously brilliant con jobs. How Diana walked around these things with that TRUTH thing she has, Sue will never be able to fathom. Most of these people do know what it is, but, like poker, you really do need to bluff a little against those like Luthor who constantly deal from the bottom of the deck.
Thank God it's Pete these days. Let the clean up begin.
Tonight's agenda is a ambassadorial mixer with the cabinet along with a few more higher ups. These are more dangerous rooms then the shark tanks at SeaWorld at feeding time but oh, so fun. She passes on the oysters in favor of the caviar and scans the place to look in on who's chatting with whom.
