D.C. Fire & Emergency Medical Services posted notice that fire boat and special ops teams are on the scene at the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, where a woman apparently jumped or fell from the bridge. The bridge is temporarily closed in both directions as rescuers searched the bridge and immediate shore area for the woman. No luck finding her — witnesses on hand said that the woman swam to shore after hitting the water. Now it is far, far too nice out today to go dragging everybody’s day down with what my friend Phoebe calls a “Sarah Palin Move.” Palin, you see, announced her resignation from the governorship of Alaska on the 4th of July, meaning that journalists like Phoebe had to work instead of eating delicious hot dogs. Let’s hope this unidentified woman was in fact making the best of the nice weather and going for a big splash — not the big splash.
