Who knew it could take
 eight pages of instructions on how to properly escort a member of Congress around his district? Yet there it is, laid out in mind-blowing detail, in a memo obtained by POLITICO that’s sure to make any young, eager-beaver political aide shudder.
Tasks listed in the document, entitled “Instructions on Staffing and Driving — District Version,†include handing Rokita a cup of black coffee upon picking him up at his home, acting as a physical barrier between him and trackers looking to capture embarrassing footage of the congressman, and “avoid[ing] sudden acceleration or braking†while driving.
“The goal is to provide as smooth a ride as possible,†reads the instruction manual, co-authored by a former chief of staff to the congressman and Tim Edson, Rokita’s ex-communications director-turned-campaign spokesman.
Drivers are expected to transport not only Rokita’s toothbrush and toothpaste but also stock and tote around the district a nearly 20-item supply box that Rokita’s staffers call “the football.†The contents include gum, hand sanitizer, business cards, bottled water, napkins and Kleenex, lozenges, a stapler and stapler remover, Post-it notes and Shout wipes, among other items.
EDITOR”S FOOTNOTE: Here is the Politico Magazine link to the article written by JOHN BRESNAHAN and RACHAEL BAD
Looks like Messer found willing accomplices to do a nothing hit-piece on his rival, eh? One has to particularly love the wording they use to make a job appear to be induced slavery. The headline says “chauffeur” and the article says “escort”. Obviously, these hacks don’t have a dictionary to look up word’s meanings before they use them. If I was ambivalent about who to vote for in a primary, this would seal my vote for the target of the scummy “news”.
