ambivalent comment

I saw Ralph Nader walking near the Dupont Hilton once last year and it seemed like a brush w/celebrity to me. D.C. people are geeks that way -- that's why we're in D.C., maybe. I also keep seeing one of the contestants from Showtime's “The American Candidate,” which was a reality show in fall 2004 about these people who were competing for a fantasy presidential nomination. I believe the man's name was Richard and he, too, seems like a celebrity to me. Me = geek. But I'd say Wolf Blitzer is definitely a celebrity. A windbag and crap reporter, but a celebrity, nonetheless.
