Christopher Hitchens Baffled By Post Office
Life in DC was exciting for about two and a half seconds when Brad Pitt visited in order to make out with Nancy Pelosi in her private chambers. Oh and then Richard Gere popped by also, which nobody cared about so much. Has Richard Gere been in a movie where he shows his admirable lack of vanity by starting out all gross and warty and gradually aging into a beautiful young specimen of flesh? Nope. Anyway, in lieu of Pitt sightings we bring you word of such handsome hunks as Trent Lott, Jonathan Martin, Patrick Leahy, and Christopher Hitchens.
When you go to your local Harris Teeter do *you* see somebody who looks vaguely familiar, and there you are racking your brains wondering if you should say hello or not, and then you remember you saw them on "Hardball" talking about agricultural subsidies? Send us word of these life-changing events! Write to tips@wonkette.com with the subject line "Wonk'd."
Saw Trent Lott at Good Stuff Eatery around 12: 45 today. He was dressed like a tourist and very confused about how the line worked. He cut a bunch of people then couldn't decide what he wanted so he got back out of line, ran upstairs to get a seat, and then ran back downstairs all flustered, probably because the coloreds gave him lip when he told them to move.
I got in the checkout line behind Jonathan Martin today at Harris Teeter. He was sporting some major bedhead and carboloading for some hardcore blogging with a box of Cheez-its, some yogurt granola bars, and a DiGiorno's "ULTIMATE PIZZA."
I'm not sure if this technically counts, since it occurred in his office building, but I was on the elevator and Patrick Leahy got on with a reporter. You will be pleased to hear that I resisted the urge to say "I loved you in Batman."
Sen. Leahy asked me what floor I was going to, and I mumbled something about riding up to the 4th floor with him and then going back down, so he wouldn't be delayed. He said thanks and then went back to talking to the reporter.This occurred just after the Senate voted to block the amendment that would have taken away Congressmen's scrillz, so he was probably in a good mood.
Behind chris hitchens in line at post office at florida and 20th. He looks confused and disheveled but what did i expect?
