The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Why Was I the Last to Know?

    Dear Barack,

    You said I would be the First to Know about your veep pick, but I was not. What gives? ABC, CNN — those guys knew. Everyone at TPM seems to know.

    I mean, I signed up and everything. But you didn't text me. You didn't send flowers or a candy-gram. Not even a solicitation for money from David Plouffe.

    What the hell, man? Why was I the Last to Know?

    I thought we were solid.
