Wonk’d: Paparazzette

It’s so great to know that you tipsters are gaining in skill and guile when it comes to spotting celebs. Case and point: this photo of E.J. Dionne, blathering on about Bush’s approval rating in between slurps of Vietnamese satay pumpkin fusion soup.

Update: Several of you have identified Dionne’s lunchtime companion in this photo as former Clinton advisor William Galston, now at the Brookings Institution.

Regular Wonk’d stars George Stephanopoulos, Stephen Colbert, and Jenna Bush also make their appearances, as does Laura Bush. Of course, as in life there are always winners and losers in the game of Wonk’d. The loser of the week is John Kerry, who couldn’t win a presidential election, and now can’t even fix a traffic ticket. It’s good thing then that we’ve got Wonkette-poll-dominating Stormie Janzen — and tons more, after the jump.

This is the seat of power for the, uh, whole planet, and there are celebrities lurking everywhere. If you spot one, tell us by email, with “Wonk’d” or “Sighting” in the subject line (along with the name of the bold face you spotted). Spot and send, spot and send — many thanks!
