We’re guessing they could’ve talked for hours. After all, it is their profession.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was spotted having lunch Tuesday at Georgia Brown’s with the man who held his post under our last Democratic president, former press secretary Mike McCurry.
Gibbs managed to escape for a leisurely lunch, as deputy secretary Bill Burton is with President Barack Obama in Martha’s Vineyard. We’re betting McCurry, who was at the helm during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, certainly was able to dish — over dishes of Southern food — some advice to Gibbs. And though most senior aides are taking some time off, Gibbs was spotted back at the White House, possibly with some new tips from McCurry.
Also spotted recently around town:
R&B singers and athletes apparently are loving Stir Lounge in Northwest D.C. — four celebs were spotted there Sunday night: D.C.-bred singer Mya and D’Angelo and the Washington Wizard’s Andre Blatch and the Washington Redskins’ Stephon Heyer all partied at the Chinatown nightclub. Mya was the one to set off the most camera flashes, pulling up in a silver Rolls Royce Phantom with some family and friends.
