For all their focus on the quotidian, pool reports can sometimes turn up a gem -- as when Ken Bazinet of the New York Daily News revealed that the Chevy Chase home Barack Obama visited Tuesday night belonged to none other than ur-conservative commentator George Will. The dinner party, later confirmed by the transition team, included other right-leaning luminaries like William Kristol and David Brooks. The pool was, unfortunately, not invited in to overhear what must have been an interesting discussion. But, for reporting this unlikely meeting of minds, Bazinet's report picks up today's Poolitzer Prize.
The PEOTUS departed Hay-Adams at 6:17 p.m. and at arrived at 6:34 p.m. at No. 9 Grafton St., Chevy Chase (right off the circle). Thanks to the good work of Hans Nichols (of Bloomberg and "Daily Show" fame), Montgomery County property tax records showed this is the home of conservative columnist George Will (valued at $1.9 million, according to the 2008 levy).We're still awaiting confirmation that this is indeed Will's house from the transition, but your pool is satisfied with the documentation.
Your pool has been told it's a dinner party.
And, thanks to an enterprising photographer, a shot through a window showed op-ed stalwarts William Kristol and David Brooks are also part of this unlikely gathering of tight, right suits.
Transition mouthpiece Tommy Vietor was also spied inside the manse.
This is for real, folks. The bloggers are going to love this one.

There are many kinds of
replica watches ukon the market. Some of these can be called “counterfeit” because it uses propriety logo, brand, and design of a legitimate company. The looks and angles of these counterfeits can look so similar to the authentic ones that it may sometimes be difficult to tell the difference. However, discerning connoisseurs can always tell at a glance from the materials alone.
