Streets of Washington Safe, Thanks to Us

After last weekend’s Collin Finnerty debacle (yes, we are taking full responsibility for the little prick’s assault conviction), we’re kicking ourselves for not catching this: the judge who cited us in court is the father of Daily Candy’s DC editor. Blogger Brunch Bird, with the assist:

Armed with the information about this father-daughter connection, I’m a little surprised that Bayly’s ruling in the Finnerty case didn’t come under the heading “All Rise (For Great Bargains)!” or didn’t include the words, “natch,” “gal,” or “yummy,” or close with him imploring those in attendance to go check out the 40-percent off sale at the Supreme Court gift shop down the street, because “You’ve totes earned it after sitting through this trial, darling.”

Remind us not to go on trial in this town. Though if it ever happens, we’ll just print ourselves an unassailable alibi in Wonk’d.

Daily Candy Editors Do Plan On Making It Out to DC One Of These Days

Pity the poor Daily Candy! Washington DC can’t quite figure out what to do with it, and they can’t quite figure out Washington DC — as evidenced in today’s perky missive, which directs subscribers to a survey (please please please say you buy 10+ beauty products monthy, they whisper). Alas, even in their attempt to learn the very old fashioned way just who the hell their audience is, they show that, perhaps, it may be a lost cause:
C’mon, ladies. We don’t go to your house and mispronounce “Houston Street,” do we?

• Oh, dear: “You persuasive lobbyists. You got yourself some slick new magazines. New bench nominees. Even a new Barneys. Okay, okay. We hear you: The District is the place to be.” Or, uhm, Leesburg is. [Daily Candy via RRR]
