Nah, I didn’t actually crash. Glamour got a table at last night’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner and asked me to go to cover it all: their table included Padma Lakshmi, Chelsea Handler and (my hero, in silver heels) Samantha Bee, along with Nancy Brinker and my editors Ellen and Linda and Glamour editor Cindy Leive. But, more on all of that tomorrow on Glamocracy, obviously. In the mean time, the picture I was actually geekily proud to have gotten.

Don’t recognize him? That’s Danny Strong, who was Doyle on Gilmore Girls and Jonathan on Buffy and he wrote the upcoming movie Recount about the 2000 recount, which is why he was there. Also, he was super-nice about taking this picture and we played recognize-the-celebrity (he beat me on Douglas Feith but I won on Donatella Versace and Megyn Kelly). Also, to his credit, I was in 4 inch heels, so he’s not as short as he looks, not that there’s a problem with that, and I promised to call him “actor, writer and sex symbol” when I blogged this, though I’m pretty sure he didn’t think I would actually say that because he doesn’t know me.

This would totally fucking rock:

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that “Josh Romney, one of former Gov. Mitt Romney’s five sons, says it’s ‘possible’ his father may rejoin the race for the White House.” Earlier this month, Romney “suspended” his campaign and endorsed Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) bid a week later. But Romney has yet to comment on the recent New York Times article on McCain’s close ties to lobbyists and “still retains control of the nearly 300 delegates he’s already won.”

I wonder how much more of Tagg’s inheritance Mittens would piss away? [Think Progress]
