Wonkette

For the first time since he was caught “human hunting” in February, Dick Cheney is taking a hunting trip. MORE »

Intern Nick is on vacation this week (along with the rest of DC), so your dedicated editors had to compile this edition of Washington’s favorite unverified stalking guide all by themselves. Pity us, and learn where Helen Thomas eats, and the places Robert Novak has been known to walk by. Also: did you know that C-Span anchors are celebrities? Brian Lamb sure didn’t! That was the week that was, after the jump.

Not enough sightings to make up a Wonk’d post today but a reader writes:

Hey so, saw Georgie S. (tephenopolous) this morning in the 2200 block of Wisconsin Ave. Not too noteworthy as he is always around. However, what did strike me was that he entered the Washington Sports Club in normal street clothes (black pants a metrosexualesque bright purple shirt and black overcoat) and 5 minutes later came out of the club in running gear (shorts, sneakers and tshirt) with his overcoat and began walking down (towards georgetown) Wisconsin.

Also, I used to see him at sports club LA and now he’s at WSC? Did something happen? Did he have a pay cut? Or does he just have memerships at every gym in the city so he can pop in for his quick-change at any moment?

As I recall, then-Boy George was a regular at the Dupont WSC on Connecticut Ave. in the mid-90’s, so your theory might have merit. Reminds me of my favorite Dupont WSC story: a friend (an attractive young woman) once tried to pick up a hot guy there; but no-go, he already had a girlfriend. But they had a nice chat anyway. Before she left, he asked her, “How did you know I wasn’t gay?” She pointed down, said “your socks don’t match!” and walked off triumphantly. — AMBITIOUS HECKLER

Some of you wonder why the Wonk’d famous-for-DC posts don’t appear with more frequency. The sad truth is that people don’t send us much. Perhaps you don’t understand: The bar is VERY LOW. Matt Cooper in line in at Starbucks? Counts. Margaret Carlson picking up her dry cleaning? Totally. Matthew Yglesias looking lost on M Street? That too. You want more Wonk’d? Send us more sightings: . Come on, you can’t walk a block in this town without tripping over George Stephanopolous and he counts, too! In this issue: Bennett, Kidman (of course), Jenna and Barbara Bush, Scalia, Stein, Carter, Alito (8″ thick! Not the way you think.), Chalabi at Kiehls, Greenspan, Bradgalina, and, yes, Stephanopolous. After the jump.
