Multiple people have sent us photos of this local hobo today, so sure, we’ll bite. Operative “John B.” writes: “I talked to this young conservative at the corner of 14th and k. I can’t help him but maybe he could help Miss California. He is a media specialist according to his resume.” (In POLITICS.) And he’s pretty good at it, right? This little stunt has landed him an entire post on an Internet blog! So call him up and hire him okay?

• K STREET BANK LOOTED: Somebody robbed the PNC Bank at 14th and K. Obviously it was lobbyists driven insane with fear that they will all turn into impoverished destitute train-ridin’ hobos once Barack Nobama comes to town and taxes them for working hard. Either that or, you know, bank robbers, either one. Thanks to Rebecca for bringing this terrible pillage and plunder to our attention. (Update: You are right, whoever pointed out that link was to a different robbery. Banks are getting robbed, everywhere. Who even knows if the PNC at 14th and K actually got robbed? Only “Rebecca.”)

This is another party of protesting hippie marauders, who met up around noon to march down K Street — home of evil lobbyists like John McCain — and yell at all the corporates in their plush silk-lined oil money offices.

Check out this latest Wonkette Film, where the hobbits finally reach K Street, the road they hate. [YouTube]

Now that John McCain’s the Republican’s most divisive, oldest, worst debating, worst speaking and generally gayest Likely Nominee, the K Street crowd is applying extra inches of makeup to impress the Republican Party’s latest corrupt president-in-waiting. Young Professionals for McCain, a group of young corporate biddies (check out the list!), will be hosting a “Super Tuesday Results Reception” next week. Expect hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips and vodka on the refreshment tables and $10k wads of clean, unmarked bills duct-taped underneath. [Jonathan Martin]

With “lobbying reform” still in the zeitgeist, and facing the need to do the bare minimum necessary to trick their constituents into thinking that they are concerned with something besides re-election, the Senate agreed to a ban on undisclosed meals from lobbyists. The job of infusing the dully obvious with the breathless gravitas of the narration in the Shawshank Redemption fell to Barack Obama, who said: “In cities and towns all across America it turns out that people pay for their own lunches and their own dinners…People who make far less than we do.” MORE »
