The typical Wonk’d sighting is comprised of two parts. First, the initial spotting - that moment of, “holy shit, it’s XXXX XXXX.” The second part is where it gets interesting: moving in for the kill. Getting a little closer to confirm it is who you think it is, or to get a greeting — but it’s impossible to know how the spottee will react. An equal “hi” for “hi” return is rare, a slight nod seems to be the standard, and the pursed-lip-upward-chin-thrust is if you’re lucky. In today’s Wonk’d see how Howard Dean, William Cohen, and Katherine Heigl respond to being caught. Also, Ken Mehlman’s workout habits, Greta Van Susteren’s travel habits, and the meanest dry cleaner in Chicago, after the jump.
Greta van Susteren, having had enough with the ineffectual foreign police departments, refocuses her attention on MSN.com.
