Oh hey looky here, Barack Obama (not pictured) went to Bobby Van’s last week! Anybody see anything weird about this picture?
Oh. Oh dear. (Thank you Wrongavore for the tip!)
Rearranging the Tables in Washington: Can Obama’s Coattails Reach to Restaurants? [New York Times]
Is that AMC?
Is that Liz replying to another would-be suitor?
It’s all white people?
“Anybody see anything weird about this picture?”
You mean aside from the vertigo-inducing, villain’s-lair-from-the-old-Batman-teevee-series-type camera angle?
Waldo’s missing shoe?
…of course Barack Obama wasn’t there, otherwise that purse in the foreground would be gone!
CollegeStudent:
My thoughts exactly.
Do vegetarian Republicans deny that they’re vegetarians?
Gopherit: That’s what I’m thinking. AMC loaded up on good bourbon, trying to start a proper barfight.
The same people in the picture are having that stupid “ball” in Georgetown?
Anybody see anything weird about this picture?
YES! Why is my wife talking to that strange man after she told me she had to work late???
Someone left her purse unattended on a table? In D.C.?!?
ph7: I think she knows you’re watching.
“Anybody see anything weird about this picture?”
Yeah, the people in the picture seem to be enjoying themselves, which is quite rare these days.
HE: “Hey, maybe you just haven’t been with the right guy.” (”Yeah, I may be diminutive but I’m a lawyer and she’s got to love the leather,” he adds to himself.)
She:
He: “Whoa, there’s a client — gotta go (wink).”
CollegeStudent: That’s what I thought it was going to be, too.
This picture brings up painful memories.
I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this kind gesturing in the near future. Now that Dickhead Cheney is going to be let loose in the real world he’ll no doubt be bumping into real world people. Just like that dentist in New Orleans after Katrina, I predict we’ll all be enthusiastically greeting the Dark One with a soaring mono digit and a hearty “Hey Cheney, fuck you!” Can’t wait.
AMC at Bobby Van’s? Must be networking.
Good arugula at this place I hear.
I love it when bar women sign dirty.
The handbag in the foreground is clearly a YSL knock-off. TACKY!
Pah, the NYT started flipping the bird with Judy Miller and hiring Kristol so what’s a little photographic evidence?
Fuck me? No, no. Fuck YOU, picture guy.
Looks like the kind of joint Spitzer would visit to pick up a high class hooker or two. What’s the address?
The Cold Sea: That conclusion seemed so obvious as to be absurd, so I immediately discounted it. But now y’all are making me think it’s her.
There’s like a 3:1 ratio of men to women. The nice lady using sign language realized that too.
they’re not wearing burlap sacks and eating skewered alley cat?
The lazy fucks haven’t taken down the Christmas decorations.
Where is the Hopey? Did whitey send him to the kitchens?
Wait, I know that one. That’s Houlihan’s for “I’m busy”.
Looks like AMC telling Mark Penn to go in bathroom and do hisself.
Where is Maude Flanders when you need someone something innocuous to be whipped into a FULL SCALE MORAL PANIC!?!?!
It’s a streetlight.
Thanks to the young lady’s blunt response to his inquiries, some other lady is now in a shallow grave somewhere in the Maryland woods.
If someone were to cry out, “Douchebag! Is there a douchebag in the house?”, watch the stampede.
That bar look like the Island of Lonely Men. Like that woman didn’t know she’d get hit on sitting at that bar?
The LNS olds all go there. Barry is their leader.
must be a PUMA
I don’t see any steak.
The line for Larry Craig’s stall has spilled into the bar.
AngryBlakGuy: Boom baby!
Those Bitches at the NYT have altered the photo already.
Actually they didn’t just photoshop it, they outright replaced it with another, far less hilarious shot taken a moment later. But now we can see the face of the goon who was getting the finger before.
… and luckily, whatever lame CMS the New York Times is using, probably makes it too confusing for unpaid interns to delete images once they’ve been uploaded.

“What would you say to a little fuck?”
“Uh…’hello, little fuck’?”
This looks like a place where Cougars roam. I can see Mdm Pennington of Nooningshire alighting here from a horseless carriage. Perhaps for a nightcap — a Gin Buck or a Queen’s Park Swizzle — following the latest Ibsen opening.
Big deal. Moby Grape did it 42 years ago.
randomsausage: Nightcap? If by nightcap you mean sucking off a team of busboys and drinking the splooge from a shot glass. There won’t be any Ibsen in DC for a while either, but this spring there will be gay, gay, witty, gay Noel Coward.
I <3 AMC
Liz! Liz! A simple “no thank you” is sufficient. You don’t have to tell every young man where to cram it.
Looks like what i left 15 yrs ago. A dingy gay bar.
Monsieur Grumpe: That guy calling out “Fuck you, Mr. Cheney, Fuck you,” in New Orleans was one or the high points of my political life, and I trust he was also flipping Darth off.
Honest mistake…she just thought the photographer was with PJTV.
Hart88: She can’t be a PUMA, she can count too high and she’s not fat enough.
Wrong? Looks like your typical Gay Bar to me. Old trolls cruising for a DC twink, and a few fag hags thrown in.
