A host of media VIPs including Tim Russert and Bob Schieffer, along with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader John Boehner, are expected to take a break in the House Ways & Means Committee room tonight to honor Tina Tate, who has led the House Radio & TV Gallery for 25 years.

After a 40-year career on the Hill, Tate will be going to the Newseum, which opens this fall.

And they’ll have sustenance, too: Chairman Charlie Rangel granted a waiver so food could be served in the room for the 250 or so guests.
