Written by a smattering of Hill political wonks, K Street lobbyists, PR gurus and even an undisclosed journalist, it is called FamousDC (http://www.famousdc.com/) and aims to cover the famous-for-D.C. intersection of politics, media and sports.
The jury is still out as to whether FamousDC will be a hit. Nonetheless, it promises, “Whether you’re heading to the water cooler, power lunching at the Cap Grille, or leaving the office early for Cantina Marina - get your talking points here.”
After telling you how to send tips, it adds, “Stay classy.”
One of the bloggers explains the reasoning for the blog: “The only sure bet in D.C. is the constant pursuit of fame. Everyone wants their 15 minutes.”
