Fishbowl5 With Dana Milbank, The Beggar

Will you still be writing “Sketches”?
Yes, though probably one fewer each week. I have promised not to cut back on my mentions of Roland Burris.

How did this opportunity come about? Did the bosses come to you or you to them? There is a worn-out patch of carpet outside Fred Hiatt’s door where I spent the last few months on my knees begging.

Have you always wanted to go in this direction and did you anticipate it? I had originally planned to beg outside of Hiatt’s office for only 30 days.
