Wonk'd: Wonkette gets Wonk'd in Boston

BoiFromTroy --

Things have wrapped up in Boston, so Wonk'd will return to its regular programming of bringing you sightings of famous-for-Washington people, in Washington, sent in by our readers. The final round of Beantown sightings include MatthewFuckingYglesias, Sen. Tom Harkin, David Brooks and a meta-Wonk'd Ana Marie Cox.
