Reggie Love on life after White House: ‘Like a drug to be out of there’

Soaking up the finally pleasant weather, the conversation eventually turned to Love’s time at the White House, which sounded a lot less pleasant.

Love compared working inside the White House to being on a sinking ship.

“I had this great journey, but I was just a passenger,” he told his dining companion. ”I was by no means steering the ship. I was bailing out the water.”

The restaurant’s employees seemed well-acquainted with Love. He made small talk with them about his golf game.

Occasionally, he let out a loud, delightful laugh in the warm, spring air.

Getting luckier by the minute, one of the waiters brought the pair surprise french fries they apparently didn’t order. This is BLT Steak, so a) they’re a beautiful specimen of sliced potato and b) not cheap. His main dish was salad with beautifully plump grilled shrimp. There appeared to be a mushroom side dish.

Does life get any better than this?

Love continued sharing highlights of life outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

OH OH Reggie is missing Obama right now

[Pearls Before Swine]

Reggie just be dishin’ now. I can’t wait for him to cash out with his “tell all” book.

[Dr. Ursus]

Hush puppy money!

[Lazamataz]

They mention Love's companion at the end of the article.

Male or female? I already have a hunch, but would like confirmation.

Occasionally, he let out a loud, delightful laugh in the warm, spring air.

What a Sweet guy!! ...delightful.

[Paladin2]

Reggie certainly sounds happy.

[dragonblustar]

Reggie sounds like someone tickled his pink.

[nascarnation]

Sounds like Reggie has not taken MooseChelle’s diet recommendations to heart yet....

Reggie, you better get your will up to date and watch your back. You've seen and heard things that make you...mmmm, expendable.

Just ask Paul Rothchild or Christopher Hargrove or Harvey Kenyon or Bill Ferguson or Donald Young or Larry Bland or, etc.

Well...I guess you can ask, but none of them are talking anymore. Or breathing, for that matter.

Love compared working inside the White House to being on a sinking ship. “I had this great journey, but I was just a passenger,” he told his dining companion. ”I was by no means steering the ship. I was bailing out the water.”

Those who worked for Carter probably said the same thing.

[GBA]

Or Kam Kuwata’d.

[Defiant]

Servicing the President for 8 years can be so tiring.

[Vince Ferrer]

How many other lower level staffers get this kind of press attention ?

[Darksheare]

Wait until he gets a tainted onion bajji courtesy of Barry.

“Reggie, you better get your will up to date and watch your back. You’ve seen and heard things that make you...mmmm, expendable.”

You want to work for the devil, you better be prepared to be paid his wages (which, contra death-by-”suicide”, can be worldly success and riches, and the spiritual deafness and blindness that comes with).

Better days, muskrat Barry and muskrat Love.

I was bailing out the water.

Bailing liquids, huh? Um, ok.
