Happy Birthday, Mari! From navigating the West Wing under Reagan to wrangling press for Senator Dole—your impressive skills have always made juggling politicians look like stand-up comedy. Anyone who can handle tough campaigns like Rick Perry's presidential run deserves serious recognition—and perhaps a medal in diplomacy wrapped up with birthday cake.Your ability to gracefully communicate even through turbulent political waters is timelessly inspiring (and incredibly entertaining). Today we toast you—hoping your day involves fewer questions from reporters and more pampering than politics. May this year bring fewer late-night news cycles, countless happy moments, and endless laughter. Happy Birthday!
