Today's round-up, so far, of celeb sightings...

Wesley Clark. Well, ok, I didn't SEE Wesley Clark, a friend did, but the interesting part of the story is that apparently he had only one person talking to him - no gaggle of oglers like the other big boys around here. The same source told me that he also saw Jesse "I'm all for civil rights until the gays want them, then I become a bigoted cracker" Jackson, who had a large gaggle of people following him (hopefully someone kicked him).

Senator Joe Lieberman. I did see the Senator, and have NO IDEA why he had such a big following. There was an ENORMOUS crowd surrounding the guy as he walked down the hall, cameras, microphones, you name it. Personally, I was never too comfortable with Lieberman as he can be a bit socially conservative some time. Yes, the man ran for vice president, but come on guys, he's not exactly someone worth ogling.

Congress John Lewis. Civil rights icon. Very cool seeing him. Former State Dept spokesman Jamie Rubin, married to Christiane Amanpour. The Wall Street Journal's Al Hunt. CNN's Bill Schneider. Bill Crystal, not Billy Crystal. DNC chair Terry McAuliffe, who squared off against Sean Hannity on Hannity's ABC Radio show.

I had a chance to speak briefly with Robert Reich today. I told him how much I loved his April article about the horrors that await us during a second Bush term, and I told him that the article was making something of a comeback online, being forwarded to friends by email, etc. He joked that the should have mentioned his new book at the end of the article to help sales!

I also got a chance to talk to Massachusetts State Senator Jared Barrios, who you may recall gave a wonderfully impassioned speech about his two newly adopted children on the floor of the Massachusetts legislature during the gay marriage debate in that state. Jared was doing an interview on Sirius radio, and he and I knew each other from when he used to live in DC. He was there with his drop-dead adorable press secretary Colin Durrant. No word on whether Durrant is family, but AMERICAblog sure hopes so!

And finally, this enormous gaggle of people go walking by, and in the middle of them is a black guy wearing a bizarre almost 1920s style suit (not really a zoot suit, but close to it), and I think a hat or something. I figured he had to be a rapper, as I hate rap, and know NOTHING about it. I was told by someone that he's Andre 3000 of the group Outkast. I've heard of Outkast, though barely. Whatever.

Later this evening I'll tell you about Corey Johnson's run-in with anti-gay bigot Senator John Cornyn, my brief chat with my friend David Brock, and my surprise visit with.... OMAROSA!
