‘No, this is Butch’
One of my favorite Idaho reporting anecdotes is the time I called then-Gov. Phil Batt's press secretary, Amy Kleiner, and a voice that clearly wasn't Amy's answered, saying, "Amy Kleiner's office." It was Gov. Batt. Well, it just happened again. I put in a call to Mark Warbis, communications director for Gov. Butch Otter, and a voice that didn't sound like Mark's answered, "Hello." "Is this Mark?" I asked. He said, "No, this is Butch - I was just in his office," and he offered to get Warbis for me. I declined - my question was actually for him, anyway. Asked and answered. I like it!
