Sightings in the Fishbowl: CNN’s Brazile Turns Heroic
The weekend brought numerous media sightings around the city.
Thursday gave way to Bill Kristol, who FBDC saw wander out of the CVS on 17th and P Streets. It struck us as slightly odd to see the conservative editor of The Weekly Standard casually stroll up 17th, given the abundance of gay pride paraphernalia on display. No need to be alarmed, however. Kristol, who is married (to a woman), stopped at the Turkish restaurant Agora, not one of the other establishments on 17th such as JR’s, where bartenders have been known to serve drinks half nude or DIK Bar (exactly how it sounds).
At Eastern Market on Saturday we saw nothing short of an act of heroism by Democratic Strategist Donna Brazile, a CNN contributor. We spotted Brazile dressed comfortably in sandals, a T-shirt and what looked like sweat pants walking her fluffy black dog. A separate dog that was obviously lost padded over to Brazile, who yelled out to a woman in the crowd, “she’s over here!” The woman, apparently familiar with Brazile, approached and said “Donna, I’ve never lost her before.” A happy ending.
On the same day, also at Eastern Market, we spotted a distinguished gentleman walking alongside his bright red Schwinn bike. Our first guess was Pee Wee Herman, but it turned out to be Jimmy LaSalvia, co-founder of GOProud, a gay Republican group.
Pauly Shore, aka The Weasel, is in town filming material for his upcoming Showtime comedy special, “Pauly-tics.” We spotted him jetting out of the Starbucks across from the Eastern Market metro station. He seemed to be in QUITE the hurry. He was wearing a “Pauly-tics” T-shirt and sunglasses and didn’t seem to notice one person who attempted to say hello. The special will tape on June 30th at the 9:30 Club and airing later in the year. Showtime tells FBDC that he is in town shooting preliminary segments that will include Pauly at various DC monuments including Ben’s Chili Bowl. Luckily, we just watched “Encino Man” the other day or we wouldn’t have recognized him with his shorter hair cut.
