Last night, “under the cover of drakness” as NBC’s David Gregory hyperdramatically set the scene, Barack Obama met with his defeated rival Hillary Clinton–much like Jack Mahone met with his defeated rival Godwin Pope in the opening pages of The Coup! Okay, okay, so they met a Diane Feinstein‘s house, and not in a parking lot under a T.G.I.Friday’s sign. But still, it’s eeerily similar. Did they discuss the vice-presidency? Well, I bet they didn’t discuss whether or not Joba should go back to the bullpen.
Diane told Karen Tumelty that they both had copies of The Coup in their possession when they left.
