Council of Economic Advisors
for not supporting the pension bill,
and the president's going
to need labor next fall.
And State's still fuming
Pentagon is unhappy with his
readiness reduction proposals.
Greenspan dislikes him.
Christ, who didn't this guy piss off?
No wonder the wife's sick.
She's not sick, she's a drunk.
How do you know that?
Mike Woodward over at Treasury.
Mrs Rittenhouse started
drinking a couple of years ago
when her husband had a series of affairs.
Stepped it up last summer after
their son died of leukemia.
You want to do something on
Mike Woodward? Wife, 3 kids?
He's been after me for months.
So I threw him a breakfast
and hit him up about Rittenhouse.
Bob Campbell's leaving,
so midnight Saturday
Why would I want
to give up the White House
for a graveyard weekend--
No, no, no,
not for you, for me.
No.
Beth.
We'll talk about this later.
Very calm. The president will be
back from Camp David tomorrow.
Business news, Ira.
Just keep working on Rittenhouse.
Maybe Mike's available for dinner.
Do the usual research,
background information.
OK, that's it.
Beth, wait.
Listen, Beth, what if
it wasn't permanent?
Oh, God, Jenny, please.
Honey, this is how it works.
You've done 2 years of research.
Now do 3 as a segment producer.
another 2 in some
cholera-ridden hellhole.
And then I'll quit
if they don't give you
Hello, Caitlin. There you are.
Are you protecting me
or just holding me back?
- Yes.
- OK.
Rittenhouse tape and text

Thank you--
are walking down the aisle.
They're spreading flowers.
The twins. What are their names?
Emma and Susanna.
They're walking down the aisles,
and they're dropping rose petals,
and everyone's smiling at them,
and now she's walking down the aisle.
Yes, and she stands beside him.
And the priest says, "Dearly beloved--"
Judge.
The judge says, "Blah, blah, blah.
"Sickness and health, blah, blah, blah.
Do you, Jason Lerner, take
Chlorine Whatchamacallit?"
Mom, Chloe.
What did I say?
You said... you said "Chlorine."
Her name's Chloe...
Oh.
Well, it's still a terrible name.
Jason says, "Lie, lie, lie,
till death do us part,
blah, blah, blah,"
and she says yes,
and he says yes,
and it's kissy, kissy, kissy,
and congratulations.
Jenny, you now have a new stepmother
who is 2 years older than you.
The check.
Well, anyway,
as much as I'd like to stay here
and get silly with you, Mom,
I can't. I gotta go.
I know, I know, I know.
We'll get over it.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Be good.
I was with the secretary
since he's been governor of Connecticut.
I came to Washington with him.
dedicated to his career.
I trusted the man...
and then he f***ed me.
He what?
No, I didn't have sex with him.
I should say I didn't
have sex with him,
but somebody sure did.
It was about to come out, so he resigned.
outside the government pool,
I don't get conveyed
to the next secretary,
so now I'm out a job...
Because he couldn't
keep his hands off women.
Do you have proof?
He thinks he was being so clever.
I picked it up once.
Said hello, and it's nobody home.
It rings, he shuts the door.
Why not hang a sign?
Do you have a name?
This is what I get for talking to the press.
I'm selling my soul right now.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
I name a name and get
someone into trouble.
So you do have a name.
Just a first name.
Oh, my God. I'm going to say it.
Ellie.
Ellie. Nothing else?
I think the president knows about it, too.
Overheard the secretary
talking to him about her.
Isn't Washington sick?
Hi.
How you doing?
Can I help you?
Well, actually,
we're looking for your mom.
Is she around?
My mom's sick.
She's not here.
Gosh, I love boats.
Are you going on a trip?
Yeah.
That's exciting. Looks like a long trip, huh?
So, listen, do you know where you're going?
She's going back to the house.
Hey, you want to stop that?
Lily, please.
Lily, that's a pretty name.
Lily.
Do as I say. Go on.
If we could just get a minute of your time.
What do you want from me?
We'd like to talk about your resignation.
My wife is sick.
She's in the hospital.
That's why I resigned.
Everybody knows this.
We could talk about your wife,
or we could just talk about Ellie.
Turn the camera off.
If you want to talk to me, turn it off.
We know everything.
Nobody knows everything.
Well, we know about
and the whispered calls to the president
and about a secretary of the Treasury
who's kept his entire
department in the dark
about what he's really doing--
about a cover story about his resignation
that just fell through.
I mean, sir, You want me to go on?
And you're just gonna break it?
Well, that's what we do for a living.
Well, congratulations.
You now have
Good luck to you.
Personally...
I think it's a mistake to run the story,
but hey, what the hell?
Why not?
What difference does anything make any more?
Look.
I know you're just a reporter,
but you used to be a person, right?
I wanted to be with my family.
Can you understand that?
OK, Secretary of the Treasury
Alan Rittenhouse
resigns because of a mistress named "Ellie".
"The biggest story in history"?
What an ego.
Now, if it was the president--
