Another Memorial

On Friday, Jan. 14, a crowd of Washington insiders gathered at the Kennedy Center for a memorial to honor longtime U.S. diplomat Richard C. Holbrooke, who brokered the peace accords that ended the war in Bosnia, and who was obama's chief envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan. President obama was among the eulogists.
In Washington, one president on a stage is a big deal. Holbrooke merited two. (obama and clinton)

There were network anchors and admirals, power brokers and influence peddlers, senators and ambassadors.
There is no word on whether or not t-shirts were handed out.
