O Nerdprom! My Nerdprom! Highlights From WHCD 2010
Mayor Mike Bloomberg in his impeccable press conference attire, with his always-stylish companion Diana Taylor, and General George W. Casey, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, with a woman whom I believe is his wife, and whom I hope is on the mend very soon! A note on Bloomberg: At the time this photo was taken, around 7:30 p.m., he very likely had been briefed on the Times Square would-be bombing. Perhaps that’s why he seemed distracted when I tried to corral him for a photo with Charlie Rose. (Sorry, it came out blurry, and that jaunty bow tie deserves a crisp focus.)
Shoe Diplomacy: Yes, that’s former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright showing us a little leg. We were complimenting her beautiful ruby-slipper broaches (she’s famous for them, as you know), and she pulled up her dress just enough to show us the ruby slippers to match. She. Is. Amazing.
I had to get a shot with her. She. Is. Amazing.
“Say something in a funny accent!” Hardworking videographer Liz Glover gets John Oliver on the record about where to get the best bangers and mash in D.C. (That sounds like a Michael Steele joke. It isn’t.)
Joy Behar is powerless before the charms of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown. Actually, she was all business, immediately inviting him on her show. Expect to see him there soon.
The Brown Family – Senator Scott, his wife Gail Huff, and their daughter, Arianna. Yes, I asked her if she was “available“; to her credit, she politely said that no, she was not, without rolling her eyes. I asked Gail what she thought of SNL’s “Sexxy Scott Brown” sketch featuring Jon Hamm; she said she loved it, and watched it three times. (She wasn’t alone.)
Then Scott Brown took the camera from me and held his arm out for a photo. Democrats, America, People of Earth — run for cover. You will be powerless to resist.
