*Prime Minister Elbegdorjof Mongolia,Ambassador Alphonse La Porta, and a loudly enthusiastic bunch of political supporters eating up all the meats at Fugo de Chao last night.
* Saturday August 18: While waiting in the interminable security line at Dulles, I sawSenator Jay Rockefellerwaiting further back in the same line. I was surprised, and impressed, that he was waiting with everyone else and didn't go in the premium passenger line. Also, dude is TALL. After I made my way over to Terminal D, I literally almost ran intoJoel & Benji Madden and the rest of Good Charlotteas they made their way over to Subway. I refrained from making any Nicole Richie comments...
*Bob Sageteating (and drinking) with a male friend at Blue Duck Tavern in Foggy Bottom late Saturday evening. He was chatting up a rather statuesque female server, urging her to check out his upcoming HBO special.
* Just seen outside -- America's Mayor,Anthony Williams, in front of the 17th Street entrance to the Farragut West Metro station. He was wearing his mayor's uniform -- blue suit, bow suit, blue Nats baseball cap. He was standing on the curb around looking like he had nowhere to go.
* I sawThomas Friedmanwalking in front of the Spy Museum in D.C. on Monday, August 20 with who seemed like his daughters. Seemed like maybe in a bit of a hurry and looking serious or blank. Dressed casually, and was not expounding on the glories of globalization in a repetitious manner.
* I just sawCondoleeza Riceleaving the dentist. I guess she goes to the same one as Cheney, which is across the street from C.F. Folks and the Palm (currently under construction) on 19th St NW. She gets a two SUV motorcade with five secret service men and at least one HUGE gun.
