“He Kind of Snarled Back”

This week, our omnipresent eyes and ears spotted Brit Hume, Jean Schmidt, Tony Snow, Ron Paul, Elvis Costello, Katie Couric, Patrick McHenry, Hillary Clinton, and Tom DeLay, then wrote about spotting them in emails, which they sent to us. And now all those emails are posted after the jump!
See someone sorta famous in DC? Tell us all about it in an email with the subject line “Wonk’d” or “sightings.”

Boyish Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) tells AP that Congress is “a much more sophisticated junior high school” — we have to assume the Senate contains the upperclassmen. The eighth-graders, says McHenry, are really cool but the Hill also has its share of total losers: “There are the nice guys that everybody likes, the jocks, the geeks, the bullies - they’re all here. It’s a representative democracy.” Oh, and the hazing! Denny Hastert put McHenry “in a playful headlock,” in front of all the other the Republicans, which is embarrassing, but at least he doesn’t get depantsed every lunch time like poor Kucinich. Still, Paddy shouldn’t think that one little headlock means he can hang with the cool kids now. Hell, he hasn’t even been indicted yet.
