Hardballing

Carrie was strutting down in the Gallery Place area tonight on her way home from dinner, a bit tipsy admittedly, but feeling gorgeous with the light breeze blowing up her skirt. As she walked by the bright lights of Chinatown, she noticed a striking woman strutting in her direction. "Who is that bitch" thought Carrie. Well it was none other than local news celebrity Kathleen Matthews and her husband Chris Matthews strutting down the street, heading home from what I later found out was a speech at a synagogue nearby that was just reopened.

In any case, it's not often in DC that one sees a "celebrity" of any sort, unless it's a politician. Chris Matthews has obviously become a tv personality because of politics, but I used to watch his show religiously until he became a little too Bush friendly, so it was very cool to see him in person. And I had only recently realized that Kathleen was his wife. She's actually quite pretty in person. He is quite pasty. But thinner in person. Had I not been a bit tipsy, I might have tried to say hello. But they seemed ready to head home and bump uglies, so I let them be.
