I would like to apologise in advance for the image that is just about to pop into your head. This is from an NYT piece on the White House personal trainer, Cornell McCllelan:
“Cornell knew better what was going on in the White House than most people who worked in the White House,” said Lawrence H. Summers, who recently left as one of Mr. Obama’s top economic advisers. “Who’s up, who’s down, which way things are moving. Everybody talked to Cornell.”
Some of the best gossip involved Mr. Summers himself. One day, he forgot his exercise gear and began working out — shirtless — on the treadmill. A frantic e-mail quickly made its way to the West Wing: did someone — anyone — have a shirt Mr. Summers could borrow? Mr. Strautmanis, whose office is nearby, ran one over, but the incident quickly became White House lore.
Now I'm going to get loads of hits from the millions of people searching Google for 'Larry Summers, shirtless'.
