Latte Alert: Former Bush CIA Chief Drinks ‘EmSince learning that Rep. Katherine Harris drinks Starbucks lattes, we’ve put the word out to our network of Washington informants: if you see anyone important ordering coffee, we want to know.
The Muckphone rang a little after nine this morning: Recently deposed CIA chief Porter Goss was just in a Starbucks on Capitol Hill, a reliable tipster told me. I saw him order a grande latte.
Fascinating. The former GOP House intelligence committee chairman, hand-picked by Bush to bring the CIA to heel, sips Starbucks?
Interesting trivia, to be sure. But with two prominent GOP partisans quaffing Starbucks brew — and big ones, at that — let me put this question out there: isn’t it about time to put to rest this canard that only liberals sip lattes?
