Excuse my ignorance, but who is/are Capitol Hill Blue, and how reliable is it/are they? I really really really really want to believe this story. What sort of person counts as a 'senior aide'? LP

Capital Hill Blue is the on-line congressional news letter that summarizes news for Capital Hill staff and office workers. But you'll have to make up your own mind as to the reliability of the US Congress and what it reads.
What is a senior aide? Staff two or more tiers down from elected or appointed authority.
It's the kind of pseudo-human interface that is tailor made for public access. It appears to be human and concerned and open to all reasonable discussion, but bottom line, it's just a flak jacket done up as a smily designer suit.
I think of this level as what you put out in the front offices to meet and smile with all the people you don't want to meet and smile with.
Come on, you gotta know this.
