Sightings

That was former Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, flying from Boise to Washington this weekend, with a stopover in -- you guessed it -- Minneapolis!

Craig, of course was famously busted in a men's room sting in the Minneapolis airport in 2007. No word on whether he revisited the scene of the crime -- our source would rather not know.

Craig flew coach on the first leg; first class into D.C.

Also spotted this weekend:
-Brooke Shields shopping at Barney's in Georgetown on Monday afternoon.
-Irving Berlin's daughter Mary Ellin Barrett at the matinee performance of the Arena Stage's production of  "Irving Berlin's I Love a Piano" on Sunday. The play traces 70 years of history through Berlin's songs.
-Good Charlotte's Benji and Joel Madden hanging out at Maté in Georgetown on Saturday night. The two have been in town to talk about conflict diamonds on behalf of the Enough Project, which seeks to end genocide in Africa.
