Santa really could take list lessons from the folks at Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office. They do so love dividing reporters into naughty and nice categories. The invititations went out today for the media Christmas party at 24 Sussex Dr. next week - but not all reporters on the Hill got them. Only one person in the Sun's three-person bureau received an invite, for instance, and reportedly only half the scribes working in the press-gallery "hot room" on Parliament Hill were deemed guest-worthy. Selected reporters at Canadian Press were also excluded. The Star, meanwhile, is happy to report that all its political-reporting staff and columnists are welcome at 24 Sussex. Well, almost all. The bureau chief will simply send a card this year to wish the PMO communications staff a very merry Christmas.
