All three newscasts chose a soft G20 feature for a closer. ABC's Nick Watt filed a delectable profile of Jamie Oliver, the celebrity chef who catered the banquet for world leaders at 10 Downing Street. That would be seaweed and salmon followed by slow-roasted lamb followed by Bakewell tart. The Naked Chef is a fiscal advisor too: "You have just got to put a huge tax on sugar because there is four times too much sugar going into everything." Even the Bakewell tarts?
CBS and NBC both closed with the impression Michelle Obama was making on the English. Dawna Friesen's report on NBC was altogether too saccharine with phrases like "star struck" and "Michelle's magic" and "relaxed, easy charm" and "elegant and understated." Sheila MacVicar decided to have fun instead as she channeled her inner Lady Bracknell on CBS. She reminded us that Queen Elizabeth would never be caught without one and the Margaret Thatcher used to hit her political opponents with hers and that even the "always elegant" Princess Diana had a pretty little black one. A "burning question" for the First Lady is in the minds of the women of Britain. Where is her handbag?
