Doan Guards Fingerprints

A blogger who goes by "Nitpicker" weighs in with an amazing anecdote about GSA Administrator Lurita Doan's testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today: After the committee adjourned for a vote following testimony by Doan, she told one of her advisers to remove the water glass she had been using, so panel members wouldn't be able to get her fingerprints from it. I found this story hard to believe, so I checked the video of the hearing, and sure enough, it's true. As she confers with her aides, Doan clearly says:

"Take my water and my glass. I don't want them to have my fingerprints. They've got me totally paranoid."
