Political assistants have very tough jobs – I mean, I just rewatched that episode of The West Wing where the documentary crew follows CJ around for the day and you see her interact with one aide (played by the awesome Wilson Cruz of My So-Called Life) and it’s definitely stressful. However, one aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might have gotten canned for a major gaffe last month. What happened? Well, the assistant was charged with setting up a conference call – a pretty common assistant task – but instead of sending out the 1-800 number for the call, accidentally sent out the number for a phone sex hotline. Luckily, the assistant sent out a followup email with the correct information, but several of the participants had already dialed the wrong number and were none too pleased about it.
I hope for the assistant’s sake Hillary and co realized it was a simple (and kind of funny) excuse, and not a matter of national security. Good luck, intrepid assistant!
