<p><strong>&#8220;Someone wrote me an email and said they thought the Secret Service was going to intervene.&#8221;</strong> &#8212; <em>Politico</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mike-Allen-profile.html">Mike Allen</a></strong> early this morning on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Mitt shot his whole wad in the first debate.&#8221; &#8212; D.C. Del. <strong>Eleanor Holmes Norton</strong>. Whoa, Eleanor, HUH?! <em>WaPo</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mike-DeBonis-profile.html">Mike DeBonis</a></strong> tried to come to her defense, saying, &#8220;To defend Eleanor Norton a bit, she&#8217;s an aficionado of antique muzzle loading firearms. I hope.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Sweet and Sour Reaction to Candy </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Candy Crowley holding the reins tight tonight…no shenanigans in her house.&#8221; &#8212; NBC&#8217;s and E!&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ryan-Seacrest-profile.html">Ryan Seacrest</a></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Best &amp; worst moment of debate was Candy correcting Romney &#8211; she was right, but I&#8217;m not sure she should have inserted herself in that way.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Roll Call</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Emily-Pierce-profile.html">Emily Pierce</a></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Righties already trying to make this about the Qs and moderator.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Politico</em>&#8216;s SENIOR political reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jonathan-Martin-profile.html">Jonathan Martin</a></strong> in what may be his first understandable tweet in awhile. Congrats JMart!</p>

<p>&#8220;Who won the debate tonight? Candy Crowley. She knew her facts and made sure she pointed them out to her opponents. She&#8217;s got my vote.&#8221; &#8212; Author <strong>Jonathan Krohn</strong>.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-86500" title="imgres-21" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/10/imgres-218.jpeg" alt="" width="316" height="236" />&#8220;OMG.

<p>&#8220;Bottom line: Obama was far more aggressive this time, these 2 men don&#8217;t like each other and this race is still a toss-up.&#8221; &#8212; <em>The Hill</em>&#8216;s Managing Editor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Bob-Cusack-profile.html">Bob Cusack</a></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-86501" title="imgres-22" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/10/imgres-222.jpeg" alt="" width="244" height="206" />&#8220;No one puts baby in a binder.&#8221; &#8212; <em>National Journal</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Chris-Frates-profile.html">Chris Frates</a></strong>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Bottom bottom line: Obama shows up big timme and wins. Is it enough to reverse the polarities?&#8221; &#8212; <em>HuffPost</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Howard-Fineman-profile.html">Howard Fineman</a></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;MSNBC fawning. Fox News fuming. A pox on both your houses.&#8221; &#8212; <em>WaPo</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dan-Zak-profile.html">Dan Zak</a></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Love switching channels. MSNBC says clr Obama win, CNN, eh, slight Obama edge. Fox still talking about Benghazi.&#8221; &#8212; <em>NYT</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jonathan-Weisman-profile.html">Jonathan Weisman</a></strong>.</p>

<p><strong>The Observer</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;You keep it crazy, Bobby Jindal.&#8221; &#8212; <strong>Ronan Farrow</strong>, son of Mia and Woody Allen, reacting to post debate interviews from Louisiana Gov. <strong>Bobby Jindal</strong>. Farrow is a writer, human rights lawyer and formerly Sec. of State <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>&#8216;s Special Adviser for Global Youth issues.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-86440" title="673203077" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/10/673203077-300x169.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="169" />And another journo eats chicken&#8230;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Good rap quote from whitest guy in Washington</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Mystikal: That&#8217;s right my meat and potatoes come from my lyrical label I throw my rhymes for No Limit like Jeff George throw for the Raiders&#8221; &#8212; NBC&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Luke-Russert-profile.html">Luke Russert</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Ouch!</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Joe Scarborough will suck-up to a guest, then trash-talk them 24 hours later.

<p>&#8220;Have we mentioned in the past 3 minutes what a great #VPdebate Martha Raddatz is running? Yep.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Mother Jones</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Martha Raddatz is doing a great job. Substantive and also maintaining control.&#8221; &#8212; NBC&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Gregory-profile.html">David Gregory</a></strong>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Old guys acting like a jerk ain&#8217;t cool. Think Romney&#8217;s jeans-wearing is also silly, for what it&#8217;s worth.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Washington Examiner</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Paul-Bedard-profile.html">Paul Bedard</a></strong>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Biden is noticeably more loose. More folksy. Ryan has been solid..and his little interjection just now showed some life.&#8221; &#8212; <em>NationalReviewOnline</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Robert-Costa-profile.html">Robert Costa</a></strong>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Fair to say Biden is speaking with details and Ryan in broad platitudes. Reflects their backgrounds on this subject matter.&#8221; &#8212; <em>HuffPost</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Sam-Stein-profile.html">Sam Stein</a></strong>.</p>

He didn&#8217;t.&#8221; &#8212; <em>NationalReviewOnline</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jonah-Goldberg-profile.html">Jonah Goldberg</a></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is frightening right now how much Joe Biden reminds me of my dad (also from Scranton)&#8221; &#8212; <em>NYT</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ashley-Parker-profile.html">Ashley Parker</a></strong>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Seriously, Biden is just schooling young Ryan&#8230;fun to watch tho&#8221; &#8212; <em>Media Matters</em>&#8216; <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Eric-Boehlert-profile.html">Eric Boehlert</a></strong>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Biden has mastered the art of answering the subject (and not the question), which is very effective in debates.&#8221; &#8212; <em>The Week.com</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Marc-Ambinder-profile.html">Marc Ambinder</a></strong>.</p>

<title>Fishbowl Summer Superlatives &#8211; THE RESULTS Part Deux</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81781" title="Fishbook" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/08/Fishbook1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="101" /></p>
<p>On Thursday, we began rolling out the results of our Summer Superlatives and today, you get to meet the rest of the winners. Thanks for voting.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s results kicks off with the <strong>Best Dressed</strong> category. This cage match was between <em>Politico</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ken-Vogel-profile.html">Ken Vogel</a></strong><em> </em> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kate-Nocerra-profile.html">Kate Nocerra</a></strong>, <em>WaPo</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jonathan-Capehart-profile.html">Jonathan Capehart</a></strong>, <em>RCP</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Erin-McPike-profile.html">Erin McPike</a></strong>, and CNN’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kate-Balduan-profile.html">Kate Balduan</a></strong>. This contest wasn&#8217;t even close. While we had a feeling Capehart would be the clear winner, he was a very distant second to <strong>Kate Balduan</strong>! Congrats, Kate. Your prize is a $1 gift card to Fashion Bug!</p>
<p>Moving right along, we asked you to name Washington&#8217;s <strong>Best Writer</strong>. Your choices were <em>The Weekly Standard</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Matt-Labash-profile.html">Matt Labash</a></strong>, <em>The New Yorker</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ryan-Lizza-profile.html">Ryan Lizza</a></strong>, <em>NJ</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Major-Garrett-profile.html">Major Garrett</a></strong>, <em>NYT</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mark-Leibovich-profile.html">Mark Leibovich</a></strong><em>, </em><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ashley-Parker-profile.html">Ashley Parker</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Maureen-Dowd-profile.html">Maureen Dowd</a></strong>, <em>WaPo</em>‘s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Karen-Tumulty-profile.html">Karen Tumulty</a></strong>, <em>HuffPost</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Eliot-Nelson-profile.html">Eliot Nelson</a></strong>, and <em>Washingtonian</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Luke-Mullins-profile.html">Luke Mullins</a></strong>. This one was a close one to call. It was a two-man race between Garrett and Labash, but in the end, <strong>Major Garrett</strong> came through and was voted the winner. It should be noted that today is Garrett&#8217;s birthday.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-81785 alignleft" title="beckel" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/08/beckel-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="279" height="210" />Which Washington journo is <strong>Most In Need of a Salad</strong>? We asked you to choose between <em>Politico</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jonathan-Allen-profile.html">Jonathan Allen</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jonathan-Martin-profile.html">Jonathan Martin</a></strong>, <em>Slate</em>‘s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dave-Weigel-profile.html">Dave Weigel</a></strong>, <em>HuffPost</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Peter-Cherukuri-profile.html">Peter Cherukuri</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jason-Linkins-profile.html">Jason Linkins</a></strong>, FNC’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Bob-Beckel-profile.html">Bob Beckel</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Bret-Baier-profile.html">Bret Baier</a></strong>, and author and former <em>TWT</em>er <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Rich-Miniter-profile.html">Rich Miniter</a></strong>. This was another category where it wasn&#8217;t even close. The FNC team of <strong>Bob Beckel </strong>and<strong> Bret Baier</strong> were the heavy favorites and <del>waddled</del> walked their way to an easy victory.</p>
<p>Next up, we had the category that saw more votes than any other, <strong>Sexiest</strong>. Your sultry selections were <em>AP</em>‘s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Steve-People-profile.html">Steve People</a></strong>s,<em> Atlantic</em> Publisher <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Justin-Smith-profile.html">Justin Smith</a></strong>, <em>Washingtonian</em>‘s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kate-Bennett-profile.html">Kate Bennett</a></strong>, Real Housewives of D.C.’s sassy stylist <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Paul-Wharton-profile.html">Paul Wharton</a></strong>, CNN’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Brianna-Keilar-profile.html">Brianna Keilar</a></strong>, <em> </em>NBC4′s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Doug-Kammerer-profile.html">Doug Kammerer</a></strong> and Maynard Institute’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Richard-Prince-profile.html">Richard Prince</a></strong>. The winner by a slim, sexy (and consenting) majority was <strong>Brianna Keilar</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-81783 alignright" title="Boyle_Fedora" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/08/Boyle_Fedora-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="177" />On the other side of the coin, we have <strong>Who is Most In Need of a Makeover</strong>? Your choices were <em>CQ Roll Call</em> (the entire publication), <em>The Daily Caller</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Matthew-Boyle-profile.html">Matthew Boyle</a></strong>, <em>TWT</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Stephen-Dinan-profile.html">Stephen Dinan</a></strong>, Publicist <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Wendy-Gordon-profile.html">Wendy Gordon</a></strong>, DCRTV’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dave-Hughes-profile.html">Dave Hughes</a></strong> and <em>Mediaite</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Tommy-Christopher-profile.html">Tommy Christopher</a></strong><strong>.</strong> Once again, this was a two-man race between Christopher and Boyle. While Christopher just looks generally disheveled, the overall train wreck that is <strong>Matthew Boyle</strong> was voted the winner. Congrats, Matt. We hear that <strong>Paul Wharton</strong> may be available to help turn you into a beautiful swan.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-81792 alignleft" title="JAKE TAPPER" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/08/tapper-246x300.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="172" />Last, but certainly not least, is the<strong> Best On-Air Personality</strong>. The heavy-hitters on this list were ABC’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jake-Tapper-profile.html">Jake Tapper</a></strong>, <em>The Daily Caller</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Tucker-Carlson-profile.html">Tucker Carlson</a></strong>, MSNBC’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Chuck-Todd-profile.html">Chuck Todd</a></strong>, CBS’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Bob-Schieffer-profile.html">Bob Schieffer</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Nancy-Cordes-profile.html">Nancy Cordes</a></strong>, <em>HuffPost</em>‘s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Sam-Stein-profile.html">Sam Stein</a></strong>, and <em>WaPo</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/NiaMalika-Henderson-profile.html">Nia-Malika Henderson</a></strong>. At the end of the day, the experience of Schieffer couldn&#8217;t keep up with your winner, <strong>Jake Tapper</strong>!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of our winners.</p>

<title>Females on Campaign Trail Go For Sexpot Look</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-65849" title="images-5" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/02/images-51.jpeg" alt="" width="316" height="250" />Forget about SexyTwitPics. Washington has its own crop of would-be sexy females on the loose. And an unusual trend is developing among campaign and White House reporters of the XX persuasion. They&#8217;re using provocative, sometimes sexy photographs of themselves for their Twitter accounts.</p>
<p>While Bloomberg is among the few outlets with strict tweeting policies (hardly any reporters are truly allowed to let loose on the medium) this is largely unexplored territory for most news organizations who tend to use the vague, unenforced &#8220;common sense&#8221; rule more than anything else.</p>
<p>We spoke with <strong>Brad Phillips</strong>, <a href="www.MrMediaTraining.com">president</a> of Phillips Media Relations and author of the Mr. Media Training Blog, about the matter. He&#8217;s a former journalist with ABC News and CNN. While he said none of the pictures we showed him struck him as particularly &#8220;bad&#8221; or necessarily overly &#8220;sexually suggestive&#8221;, he does see potential pitfalls. &#8220;The bigger issue, from my perspective, is whether those images (and others like them) represent their brands as well as possible,&#8221; Phillips said. &#8220;News organizations will have to decide whether having star reporters making silly faces on camera, posing artistically, or wearing skin-bearing dresses is congruent with their brand image. In some cases, that answer is yes – younger, hipper news organizations can push the envelope more. But I’d maintain that news organizations should consider issuing social media guidelines regarding appropriate avatars to try to maintain brand consistency and prevent embarrassing incidents.&#8221;</p>
<p>He reasoned, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s okay for reporters to be playful &#8212; as a profile picture it does strike me as odd that that is the image they want the world to see, especially when they are writing for stodgier publications.&#8221; Then he brought up a subject some find contentious: gender scrutiny. &#8220;More often, women have to fight to be taken seriously,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s unfair that women are judged on this. But my concern is, are they doing anything to undermine their credibility? For anyone in the reputation management business, that would be a great concern.&#8221;</p>
<p>We also checked in with <em>Washingtonian</em>&#8216;s intrepid advice columnist and longtime media scribe <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Harry-Jaffe-profile.html">Harry Jaffe</a></strong> on the question of these provocative pictures. He had another take on it, which was simply, why not? &#8220;Foxy Fox babes, yes,&#8221; Jaffe remarked. &#8220;That&#8217;s what they have going for them. How sexy? Cleavage? Kate Upton sexy? Seriously&#8230;. unless it&#8217;s truly x-rated, I think it&#8217;s within bounds to strike a cute, perhaps sexy, pose. It sells.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is an initial sampling. <em>If you spot any more, please send to FishbowlDC@mediabistro.com. </em></p>
<p>In this first crop, we have <em>NYT</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ashley-Parker-profile.html">Ashley Parker</a></strong>, <em>LAT</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Maeve-Reston-profile.html">Maeve Reston</a></strong> and <em>The Hill&#8217;</em>s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Amie-Parnes-profile.html">Amie Parnes</a></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-65741" title="Bus1" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/02/Bus1-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></p>

<title>Why Washington D.C. Gossip Sucks</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="size-full wp-image-54905 alignleft" title="Huntsman daughters Twitter pic" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2011/11/Huntsman-daughters-Twitter-pic.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="170" />WaPo</em>&#8216;s The <em>Un</em>Reliable Source continues to be the city&#8217;s questionable marquee gossip column as they trail the <em>NYT</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ashley-Parker-profile.html">Ashley Parker</a></strong> by three weeks with an in-depth post about Gov. <strong>Jon Huntsman</strong>&#8216;s tweeting daughters.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-54906" title="ice cream cone" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2011/11/ice-cream-cone2.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="167" />They published their <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/jon-huntsman-daughters-on-the-campaign-trail-and-youtube/2011/10/31/gIQAaEXAaM_blog.html?wprss=reliable-source">story</a> late Monday night. It&#8217;s a great story: They talk to the daughters, they remark on their viral video remake of GOP Presidential contender <strong>Herman Cain</strong>&#8216;s smoking ad. But it&#8217;s a late story that was done <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/09/fashion/jon-huntsmans-daughters-tweet-for-dad.html">just as well</a> by <em>NYT</em>.</p>

And she&#8217;s right on target. Talk of accounts such as @DCJourno and @FakeJimVandeHei are being discussed at length on the cocktail journo circuit. The real <em>Politico </em>Exec Editor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jim-VandeHei-profile.html">Jim VandeHei</a></strong> suggests to Parker that the faker could be Editor-in-Chief <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/John-Harris-profile.html">John Harris</a></strong>, who might finally have an outlet for all that angst about him. It appears VandeHei was joking. Wonder what @FakeJimVandeHei thinks about all this? Mr. Faker declined an interview with FishbowlDC.

<p>*Need cheering up? This dark advice column from <em>The Daily Caller/The Weekly Standard</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Matt-Labash-profile.html">Matt Labash</a></strong> this week should do the trick. In it, a reader asks how to dispose of a human torso &#8212; of course, because what else would a reader ask? &#8220;Choking down a gall bladder does require a greater degree of dedication,&#8221; Labash says in his response.

<p><strong>*</strong><em>WaPo</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Paul-Farhi-profile.html">Paul Farhi</a></strong> has the latest on the &#8220;fledging&#8221; <em>TBD</em>, the red headed step child of <em>Politico</em>. They are taking <em>TBD TV</em> back to its old name, NewsChannel 8. In short, TBD.com remains, but WJLA will once again get its own website. <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Erik-Wemple-profile.html">Erik Wemple</a></strong> will stay in his role as Editor of TBD.com. But oddly, he was cagey on the figures.

<title>Rep. Schock Becomes a Piece of Media Meat &#8211; Again</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="0323_aaron_schock_ex.jpg" src="/fishbowlDC/files/original/0323_aaron_schock_ex.jpg" width="280" class="alignleft" hspace="3" vspace="3" /> It&#8217;s like a rash.</p>
<p>Every so often Rep. <b>Aaron Schock</b> (R-Ill.) briefly disappears into the ether and then, wow, he and his abs emerge in a flurry of spectacular abtastic media attention for all the world to see.</p>
<p>Yesterday the <em>NYT </em> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/08/fashion/08schock.html?_r=2">profiled </a>the lawmaker in a meaty piece headlined &#8220;A Congressman&#8217;s Abs Garner Yeas.&#8221; Author <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ashley-Parker-profile.html">Ashley Parker </a></strong>wrote wrote about his abs, his recently worn checked shirt, his gay following (yeah, he&#8217;s like Liza, he acknowledges) and so forth. Then <em>Roll Call</em> did a <a href="http://www.rollcall.com/news/48153-1.html?ET=rollcall:e8034:80084966a:&amp;st=email">follow</a> bearing the headline, &#8220;Schock&#8217;s Abs Go Legit.&#8221; Then the <em>Washington Examiner</em> <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/blogs/yeas-and-nays/Hill-hotties_-Schock-talks-about-being-a-_gay-icon_-98060374.html">today </a>plays up his six-pack. Then, of course, here we are wrapping up all the media glare.</p>
<p>But back to that rash.</p>
<p>In February of 2009 HuffPost readers named Schock the &#8220;hottest freshman.&#8221; Then things really heated up when TMZ ran those racy shirtless photographs of Schock in red bathing suit trunks in March of 2009. Then came the<em> GQ</em> <a href="http://dcvaquero.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/aaron-schock-and-the-new-conservative-agenda-gq-features/">spread</a> in October of 2009. TMZ has written a grand variety of Schock/ab stories. The headlines are fantastically creative (#5 is a favorite):</p>
<p>1. &#8220;Congressman Schock Can Sure Stomach It&#8221;<br />
2. &#8220;CNN Host Ask Congressman to Disrobe&#8221;<br />
3. &#8220;Illinois Congressman is Schockingly Hot&#8221;<br />
4. &#8220;Hunks on the Hill &#8211; Who&#8217;d You Rather?&#8221;<br />
5. &#8220;Aaron Schock in Minor Car Crash, Abs Unscathed&#8221;</p>
<p>How&#8217;s Schock feeling about the latest wave of media attention on his abs and looks? &#8220;It&#8217;s safe to say our office wishes the media would focus as intently on his &#8216;You Cut&#8217; proposal to prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars on stimulus signs, his small business tax relief bill that would create millions of jobs, or his amendment to create a BRAC-style Commission for federal programs as they do to some insignificant pictures,&#8221; wrote Schock spokesman <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dave-Natonksi-profile.html">Dave Natonksi</a></strong> in an e-mail to FishbowlDC.</p>
<p>Until next time, Congressman.</p>

<title>Is that a Blitzer in your pocket&#8230;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Or are you just happy to see me?  After an evening of [John] &#8220;King Royales&#8221; and &#8220;Blitzer Spritzers,&#8221; I got creative with the Wolf bookmarks, one of the gifts in the CNN swag bags from last night&#8217;s &#8220;New Guard&#8221; cocktail party at the St. Regis Hotel.  The event was hosted by CNN to help their bookers and producers meet some fresh faces &#8212; &#8220;one of the challenges in cable news,&#8221; expressed by CNN Bureau Chief <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Bohrman-profile.html">David Bohrman</a></strong>.</p>
<p><img alt="wolf in pocket.jpg" src="/fishbowlDC/files/original/wolf in pocket.jpg" width="448" height="336" /></p>
<p>A wide range of guests turned out for the crowded cocktail. FishbowlDC bumped into Johns Hopkins&#8217; Dr. <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Marty-Makary-profile.html">Marty Makary</a></strong> and Embassy of Syria Press Secretary <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ahmed-Salkini-profile.html">Ahmed Salkini</a></strong> as well as journalists like Reliable Source&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Amy-Argetsinger-profile.html">Amy Argetsinger</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Tammy-Haddad-profile.html">Tammy Haddad</a></strong> and Politico&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kiki-Ryan-profile.html">Kiki Ryan</a></strong>.  While CNN producers and bookers hustled to make the rounds at the cocktail, the rest of the party hustled get a handshake or wink (Christine) in with the hunky yet humble Congressman <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Aaron-Schock-profile.html">Aaron Schock</a></strong>.</p>
<p>On-air talent like <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Wolf-Blitzer-profile.html">Wolf Blitzer</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jessica-Yellin-profile.html">Jessica Yellin</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jill-Dougherty-profile.html">Jill Dougherty</a></strong> were also spotted mixing and mingling in the crowd.</p>
