<blockquote> Friends in the fourth estate-
 
I'm off to begin a new career Monday, working on the other side of the divide for U.S. Rep. Chris Carney. It's been a great three years covering politics down here for the Morning Call and working alongside a terrific crew of reporters. Been a lot of fun getting to know everyone.
 
The good news for the Pa. press corps is that the paper's going to fill the job, so treat my successor well. And go easy on my new boss - he's a terrific guy. 
 
Today's my last day at the paper.</blockquote>]]>

<title>The &quot;State of the Union&quot; is Strong, CNN Staffers Engaged</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_RKwWWYBpA57So6C9Q2_jw?authkey=Gv1sRgCPLdv8DVvcnKsQE&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_g7tLzt48He8/SvHYBUnUHvI/AAAAAAAAKHI/tcnFYt3jaWI/s400/Bling.JPG" align=left vspace=3 hspace=5 /></a></p>

<p>Look out <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/John-King-profile.html">John King</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dana-Bash-profile.html">Dana Bash</a></strong>... there's a new couple in CNN's Washington bureau. </p>

<p>Champagne bottles were popping in the "State of the Union" offices earlier today to celebrate the engagement of <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ted-Metzger-profile.html">Ted Metzger</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jessica-Rummel-profile.html">Jessica Rummel</a></strong>. </p>

<p>Metzger is a producer and Rummel is a production assistant for King's Sunday cable show. </p>

<p>We hear Metzger proposed while the couple was on vacation last week at the Cornwall Inn just outside Hershey, Pennsylvania. It involved all of the traditional romantic elements- candlelight, roses, and of course, the diamond ring. The next day they went to Chocolate World at Hershey Park and then straight to Pittsburgh to tell the bride-to-be's family in person.</p>

<p>The wedding is slated for spring 2011 in Washington. Congrats! </p>
