Here’s what the Loop is reading Thursday morning:
Pale-blue dogs — The caucus of moderate Democrats, the Blue Dogs, have lost their bite. Our colleague Paul Kane explores why they’re on the endangered species list.
Shaken family tree — Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright’s new family memoir chronicles the Holocaust’s toll. Twenty-five members of her family were killed, reports our colleague Manuel Roig-Franzia. One fascinating detail from his story: In a storage room in her Georgetown home, Albright has a box labeled, “hoods from honorary degrees.”
Despot chic — Vogue’s glowing profile of Syrian First Lady Asma al-Assad praising her designer shoes and dynamism has disappeared after (oopsie!) its online publication coincided with al-Assad’s husband’s slaughter of his opponents, reports our colleague Paul Farhi.
Yeah, but how about those Louboutins?
