Random Political Sighting!

Yes, yes, I have been a naughty blogger. Too many things good, bad and in between have kept me busy enough that posting has fallen by the wayside, but today I had a geektastic moment! I saw a famous political person out and about, and that really never happens to me.

While walking from my apartment to Georgetown I passed Donald Rumsfeld leaving Church. He looks like he always does and when I heard his voice, that was the clincher. It was just kind of surreal. Of all people, Rummy! At a church none the less. Very random, and no, I did not yell anything or heckle hime. The man had left church, and to be honest I was a little excited to see him.

In my 4ish years of DC area living I have only had 2 sightings of the famous, political or otherwise. One sighting was of Anderson Cooper walking in the DuPont. Yes, I was sure it was him and he was dressed casually just out and about. I did a double take, but there was no doubting who it was. In the time after that sighting, I had a drought.

My friend Princezz O'Phun has had many cool sightings. Chelsea Clinton, McCain and many more. DC is so freaking small, that my drought of seeing the famous/important is a bit odd. That will probably change with work and other outings! I will content myself with my Rummy sighting and hope for more excitement down the line. Fun, fun!
