Dana is just so lucky

weird

So she just fails miserably at her job and then all of a sudden, she's press secretary for some congressman in DC

 

Shontell: You go off to college in Colorado and there are a few jobs in between, but how do you wind up then at the White House? You arrive right around 9/11.

 

Perino: I did.

 

Well, what happened was, I had gone to graduate school and I thought I was going to be a local news reporter, and I liked covering politics, but I was surprised at what I thought was an institutional media bias against Republicans and conservatives. I didn't even really think I was a conservative. And I can see issues from both sides; I don't feel too strictly partisan. But I did notice it, and I would just hear things that I thought was so unfair.

 

But the real reason I left local news was that I realized I couldn't hack it.Part of it was that the climb up the ladder seemed so arduous back then and the pay was terrible. And really, if you think about the three network jobs — ABC, NBC, CBS is really all that exists all the time. CNN had just started. They were all held by men and they had been the same job since I was a teenager, so I just didn't see a path up.

 

But then one day I got asked by the newsroom to go cover a trial that was starting that day, and there was a woman who was a mother of a 2-year-old, and that child was killed by a friend of hers, and I was supposed to go to the courthouse and try to get an interview with her'. So I went, and I was so nervous, mostly because I felt like I couldn't approach or that that was like a violation of her privacy, which is — that's what reporters do. You are supposed to violate privacy so you can get to the story.

 

I was at the courthouse and I circled that woman three timesand I realized, I'm not going to do it. So I went back to the newsroom, said I was sorry, and I called my dad and said, "I don't think I want to do this here." And he says, "Well, don't worry; I'll come get you in a couple of weeks after graduation, we'll drive home, and we'll figure it out." So I went home like every good graduate student does after they finish and I waited tables and lived in my parents’ basement,and ultimately I got a job on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

then9/11

all of a sudden she's working for George W

Doesnt seem like a clown.

sounds like Family connections

 

Shontell: But you do find your husband on an airplane.

 

Perino: Yes, well, he was British, he wasn't wearing a wedding ring. He was pretty cute, and he was so smart, and he was well traveled and he's 18 years older than me, so he had done a lot in his life and we had similar political views. I moved to England, I got married. When I came back with him, we decided to live in San Diego, because who wouldn't want to live there? It's like a fabulous place in America, but I just had a hard time fitting in. I was bored out of my mind. And George W. Bush ran for office. I kept in touch with a lot of my friends from Capitol Hill who were then working for him.

 

And what happened was, on 9/11 I reached out to a girlfriend of mine who was working for Attorney General Ashcroft at the Justice Department. And so if you think back to then, in 2001, there was no Department of Homeland Security. It was just the Justice Department that was responsible for fielding all of these inquiries. And she responded back to me saying that she was OK, and a couple days later she asked me,"Would you be willing to move to DC in the middle of all of this? I need another spokesperson on my team." And I remember I was packing while we were on the phone and I left San Diego. I didn't go back for a couple of years actually. Peter finished out that year, got our house set to rent, and drove across the country. So I was with the Bush administration from October 2001 to January 2009.

 

Shontell:That sounds like that easiest job interview ever. I would think you'd have to jump through a lot of hoops to be able to work in the White House.

friends scheduled the planes for the president??

 

Q&A with Denver's Leo Perino, fatherof the White House spokeswoman

Jonathan Shikes | November 26, 2008 | 10:01am

 

While White House Press Secretary and former Colorado resident Dana Perino (for Michael Roberts's profile, see "New Forecast") fields hundreds of questions from a ravenous Washington press corps every day on subjects that span the globe, her father, Leo Perino, took questions from Westword during a busy day at his Lincoln Market on East 25th Avenue.

 

 

He wouldn't talk politics though he does give a shout-out to Barack Obama's read-to-your-children focus but discusses his daughter's Beltway rise and his recent visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for a state dinner. – Joe Horton

 

 

Westword: How often do you get to Washington?

 

Leo Perino:== I first went to the White House when Jimmy Carter was president–…we had friends who scheduled the planes for the president, vice-president and cabinet.

 

WW: Has Dana been able to come out to Colorado since she's been so busy?

 

LP: Yeah, she was out. She was the commencement speaker for University of Southern Colorado-Pueblo [Perino graduated from Ponderosa High School in Parker and the then-University of Southern Colorado, now Colorado State University-Pueblo].

 

WW: In many articles, you are credited as the person to get her started on this track with dinner-table discussions and debates of current events topics and news when she was young. Are you able to take credit for her career here?

 

LP: Oh, I don't think I'd want to take credit. She's worked extremely hard to get to where she has. We did that because we would rather talk about events in the world and what's going on rather than gossip about people at the dinner table. You know, Barack Obama's up at the stand right now right now telling people right now: Turn off your TV and read to those kids. That's basically what we were trying to do – get them to read, be interested in the world around them, locally, nationally and worldwide.

 

And my other daughter, I'm very proud of her. She's a senior trainer for Centura Health here in Denver.
