Warming Up the Diplos

Some diplo eyebrows were raised yesterday and Monday when the State Department's internal television station switched themes. The station usually airs the department's daily news briefing, officials' testimony on C-SPAN, documentaries on foreign policy issues and such during the work day so employees can edify themselves.

But the last couple of days they've been showing " Karl Rove -- The Architect," the "Frontline"-Washington Post biographical piece on the White House deputy chief of staff. So when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice heads back to California for the U.S. Senate race, then Karl. . . ?

It just entertains me that apparently the Post's official abbreviation for diplomats is "diplos". Although I'd be more amused if it was "Dip Set". Or "Hollertronix".
