He’s hot, he’s sexy, he used to run the OMB, but I have serious doubts about how much Peter Orszag was getting laid in Washington DC both before and during his time working in the White House. And then there is the implication that Washington DC would be a better town if only people like Peter Orszag never got laid. But, I’m pretty sure that the fact that a guy like Peter Orszag can get laid in Washington DC is one of the District’s few redeeming qualities. And I’m not talking about anallingus, so you can just wipe that right out of your mind. I’m talking about dorks getting some respect and celebrity, however dorky the whole things remains from beginning to end.
On the other hand, debasing yourself in front of Judd Gregg one day and taking an executive position with Citigroup the next is a nice kind of leap-up, if you know what I mean. So, do we care if the head of the Office of Management and Budget slides over to the dark side when he tires of eating congressional shit? Can we even agree that Citigroup is the dark side? I thought we were trying to save their stupid asses so they could loan our bosses money again? Right?
And, so what if the Washington Post can’t be bothered to mention it until a draft-resister decides to nag them about it. Is the Washington Post obligated to comment on the employment status of their local sex symbols? It’s not like they ever fail to do that unless there is something unseemly about the whole thing. And, yes, the whole thing is terribly, unmentionably unseemly, so, you know…best not to talk about it directly.
