Geeked out DC

Here's a snippet of a conversation I just picked up while I was strolling down Connecticut Ave.:
"I mean it's sort of like Jack Bauer...If Kiefer Sutherland had run for President..." I have no clue where the speaker was going with this, but it just sounded as if it had to be one of those only in DC conversations.

And speaking of only in DC...I have yet to get engaged whatsoever in the 2008 Presidential primary race - if the debates aired at 9:00 after Leila's abed, I might try to put a bit more effort into it - but I did drop by a Hillary rally last night and am now feeling slightly more motivated. I'm still not sure I want her to be our nominee, and I still flirt with Obamania now and again, and when it comes strictly to policy issues on the table Edwards is my boy, but I did feel the energy generated from the "historical movement" to elect our first woman president. Plus, she's comes off as being so polished and you really do feel she's committed to diplomacy and restoring America's good name in the greater world when she speaks. The Post did a fairly amusing write up of the event (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/06/AR2007060602520.html?hpid=topnews "It is not every day that the words "moon bounce" and "Madeleine Albright" appear in the same press release..."), so I won't recap. I did snap a pic of Katherine McPhee on my camera phone - well, of her partially obstructed by the fence through which she was signing autographs as people filed out. Don't know why! Her performance was pretty terrible - though I heard a tweener muse "she was better than the old guy" ("the old guy" was Babyface!)
