How’s that “openness and transparency” working out? False imprisonment? There could be a little legal trouble for the Deputy General Secretary, Comrade Joey Bite Me.

Why? Was the reporter a known trouble maker? What did he do to be confined? There had to be a reason, don’t you think? Does he write the truth instead of White House approved propaganda? Did somebody find out he may be a Republican?

Whatever the case, it doesn’t look good for Joey B. and his staff.

Not looking for sympathy here, but the life of a political reporter isn’t all champagne and canapes. Consider our man Scott Powers, who was sent over to the Winter Park home of Alan Ginsburg this morning as the designated “pool reporter” — aka scribe — for the fundraiser where Vice President Joe Biden is appearing on behalf of U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.

Turns out the veep hadn’t arrived, but about 150 guests (minimum donation $500) were already in the house. So to prevent Scott from mingling with the crowd, a member of Biden’s advance team consigned him to a storage closet — and then stood outside the door to make sure he didn’t walk out without permission.

Scott e-mailed us this photo from his temporary prison. “Sounds like a nice party,” he wrote.
