...since they just insisted that more chairs be added. I'm referring to this blurb in today's Inquirer:
Some people crash parties. Politicians crash news conferences - especially those likely to draw international coverage, and when there's a mayoral race around the corner.
At least that's what happened at the opening of the city's School of the Future on Thursday.
U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D., Pa.) and State Rep. Dwight Evans (D., Phila.) - both mayoral hopefuls - joined State Rep. Vincent Hughes (D., Phila.), State Rep. James Roebuck Jr. (D., Phila.) and Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell on stage at the West Philadelphia school.
All were invited, but the Philadelphia School District and Microsoft Corp. - which helped design the school - had not planned for them to be on stage. Extra chairs had to be found.
Nutter, on the other hand, not so much good at the popular children's game:
At least one politician didn't crash: Michael Nutter, the former councilman and declared mayoral candidate, whose district the school is in and who helped the district secure the site.
He watched and listened from the crowd.
"I knew we weren't supposed to be on stage," Nutter said. "It wasn't about us."
Your comments about personalities and leadership styles are welcome.

Fattah has been perpetually in the news for being "present" to "applaud" things he had little or nothing to do with. Now there are also the allegations regarding how he got Clinton to agree to a fund raiser for his unopposed, shoo-in congressional re-election campaign.
I'm really not very impressed at all with Fattah so far.
