Another celebrity sighting

Washington can be a very exciting city due to the political celebrities that we pass on the street. For example, George Stephanopoulos (sic?) has lived in our neighborhood for a while. We see him on the street occasionally and say hi when see him. We used to pass his house where his little dogs would bark at Maddie while he peered out of his second floor when we walked by. (BTW, he's really pretty short, and his dogs are reportedly responsible for the death of a DC cop. But that last point should be the subject of another Georgetown gossip-inspired post.)

Earlier, I posted about passing another political celeb, Ralph Nader, on the street.

The other day, we passed another one. Abby and I were walking the kids to daycare together, an unusual arrangement that reflected the fact that she was taking a "continuing legal education" class in a building by their daycare. As we crossed Rock Creek Park on Pennsylvania Avenue, I spotted someone who appeared to be asking for directions from repairman.

"Did you see who we just walked past?," I asked.

"What? Who?," said Abby.

"That guy, over there."

"The one who passed us on the street?"

"No, that guy over there, asking for directions."

"Who are you talking about?"

"That guy over there!"

"Is that Karl Rove?"

A few blocks later, I asked my previously inobservant wife whether she thought that Rove gets heckled in the same way that I was inclined to heckle Nader during our earlier encounter.

To conclude this silly post, McCain apparently bashed those of us who live in Georgetown for a variety of reasons. I feel so abused.
