Wonk’d: Before the Bridge Traffic Edition

Friday, May 26th, 2006

This week’s pre-Memorial Day edition of Wonk’d has everyone’s favorite White House golden boy, Karl Rove, and original press nightmare, Ari Fleischer, in good seats watching the Nationals. Some of the senior citizens in our government, like Antonin Scalia and Donald Rumsfeld, must think baseball is for kids — they only go to fancy parties. Maybe when Scooter Libby and Matt Cooper learn to dress properly, they’ll get invited out too. If he needs to get somewhere, Matt will probably be on Metro, along with his buddy Andy Card, as opposed to being chauffeured everywhere like carbon-hoarding Barack Obama. It’s three whole days before any more Wonk’d, so get everything you can now, after the jump!

So many games, festivals, and parties in Washington these days, and the in-crowd can’t stay away. If you see one of them, let us know by email, with “Wonk’d” or “Sighting” in the subject line, along with the powerbroker’s (or shill’s, or actor’s, of foreign head-of-state’s) name. You send ‘em, we print ‘em - everybody wins!

Arlen Specter and Chris Matthews can’t be bothered to acknowledge anyone. But Michael Chertoff is approachable, and America’s Next Top Model hangs out at DC’s current yuppie cafĂ©. Read on! Ask where to find the celebritocracy, and we provide the answers!

Tipsters, you are the lifeblood of Wonk’d. Please keep sending all of your palpitating tips to us via email, with “Wonk’d” or “Sighting” in the subject line (along with the name of the spotted famous entity). Muchas gracias!
