Politico’s Mike Allen and Microsoft’s Bill Gates managed to pull off some SNL moments while discussing serious topics at the Politico Playbook Cocktails series held at The Mayflower Hotel.
Bill Gates
We learned about philanthropy, social responsibility, social media and the Boy Scouts; the latter being the funniest exchange. “What did you learn from Scouts?” Allen asked. “How to tie knots,” Gates responded, “how to weave baskets, how to hike long distances without complaining too much, how to cook food in rainy drissly mountain places…………………it was fun!” “What of those things do you still do?” inquired Allen. “Well, I still tie knots,” replied Gates.
