Boy, Do Those Bloggers Get Around!

[On the Road]

from Suburban Guerilla, recent winner of a Koufax award:

THE QUEEN'S NIGHT OFF

It was a long night.

First of all, they pick you up in the Wampum stretch limo and take you to an undisclosed location somewhere in D.C. Imagine my surprise when they took off the blindfold and I realized it was, yes, John Ashcroft who anointed me with oil during the Koufax coronation ceremony, held in some cathedral or other. The hallucinogens were in full force; he kept moving his hands in the air and mumbling about "holy trails."

Digby was pretty funny. (Did you know he actually speaks Aramaic? He was a consultant on "The Passion.") He told Ashcroft he was an archangel and Ashcroft kept prostrating himself. (Unfortunately, every time he did it, you'd hear an audible crack whenever his forehead hit the marble floor. We were all calling him "Lumpy" by the end of the night. Oh, and Scalia never showed up.)

Then we left for a private club in Georgetown. That Professor Juan Cole - man, that guy can drink. And who'd a thought he was that good with the ladies? Sure, they were paid for the evening, but they weren't assigned to anyone in particular - which really seemed to piss off Josh Marshall. (He said it was "typical" of liberals that they couldn't make a decision about who deserved what, and pointed out the possible effect on the 2008 Democratic primaries.)

Oh, he brought his little dog, too. It was really excited and peed a lot. Someone - I won't say who - attempted a little Santorum tribute, but the dog kept getting loose.
