Obama Meets with Specter

Specter and Obama Meet One-on-One. At the President’s invitation they met for 20 minutes at the White House, where Specter says they discussed “a number of items on the Senate agenda and a number of issues important to Pennsylvania.” Specter also said he and Obama have a “good relationship” despite the fact “Obama totally screwed me by not campaigning for me in the primary.” (Okay, the Scoop may have invented that last quote.)

And the Worst Person of the Week Is…. Last week, the Scoop got a little peeved at Camille Barnett, the city managing director who’s about to rape the pension system for $50 grand per year for the rest of her life. In order that Camille and her despicableness are never forgotten, every Friday we will now present the “Camille Barnett Worst Person of the Week Award.”

This week’s award goes to whoever stole the lifesize replica of the Stanley Cup that 10-year-old Malvern boy Nick Hilton made with his own hands. Seems that prior to Game 6, someone came and snatched the trophy right off of Nick’s front lawn. (Watch NBC Philadelphia video of Nick’s story here.) To the thieves: You officially suck as much as Camille Barnett does.
