Graham asks as we pass through the middle of nowhere. There are fields of nothing as far as the eye can see. “Why?” I lean over and turn down our road-trip music. “So you can quote the former White House Chief of Staff? No thanks.” Then the light bulb goes off over my head. “Oh my God! You’re trying to make me one of your Betsy Rosses. Well, no thank you Mr. Jackson. That does not fly with me.” “Okay. I promise not to list you as a source, or even as a Betsy Ross. I’m legitimately curious as to what you think.” Then he adds, “And not the White House’s party line.” This is dangerous territory. I never discuss what I personally think about anything. Yes. Graham and I have talked policy, but I always felt as if I was giving the counter opinion to his, and not expressing my real beliefs. I’ve been trained since I accepted the job in then Senator Jones’s office to not have my own opinion.
