Taking Out the Trash

What we almost missed today…

• NBC’s David Gregory informed us on Twitter today: “I’m moderating a debate between VA gov candidates Deeds & McDonnell tomorrow on NewsChannel 8 @ 11AM and also on http://www.news8.net/”

• Politico‘s Click spotted ABC’s Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos having lunch today at The Palm. We hear Sawyer was in town to talk to the DC correspondents about her new “World News” anchor gig.

• Speaking of ABC correspondents… Jake Tapper on “GMA” this morning said that the President may run the risk overexposure and that when “asked for a comment from ABC News about this story, the White House said they would be happy to deny all of ABC News’ interview requests for the president, for the rest of the year. They were joking… I think.”

• Christopher Hitchens used to babysit Olivia Wilde.
