The money has been counted votes have been tallied; FamousDC is proud to endorse in FishbookDC’s Summer Superlative Contest .
We know all nominated are spectacular journos, but we feel the following candidates will stay classy and keep DC Famous for years to come.
Most Likely to be a Headline
Air America’s Ana Marie Cox
…
The original Wonkette, Ana Marie Cox, keeps DC Famous and everyone is always watching. She can endorse Twitter Bracket players from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and also star on the occasional Sunday show. Give her time and she’ll be in the headlines again – with all million of her Twitter followers watching.
Most Mysterious
Examiner’s Jeff Dufour
…
Always judging, watching, looking, Jeff Dufour hangs right outside the spotlight and manages to catch the bold face name on the record. We wish we saw and knew more about Mr. Dufour, but that’s what makes him the most mysterious.
Most Ambitious
ABC’s Jake Tapper
…
You don’t stumble into the ABC News White House spot from the Washington City Paper. Jake Tapper breaks the news that rattles blackberries across the beltway; his FamousDC shout-out on Twitter didn’t hurt either.
Most Likely to Join the Administration
The Atlantic’s Chris Bodenner
…
You can’t hang around Andrew Sullivan that much and not drink the Obama Kool-Aid. Mr. Bodenner also owns a honor for shutting down the FDC server for almost an hour.
Most Competitive
WaPo’s Chris Cillizza
…
How could you describe Chris? Imagine Bob Dylan mixed with Jay-Z and a ton of RedBull sitting next to a computer under a Charlie Cook inspired Congressional district map.
…
When a story breaks in Washington, wait ten minutes and you’ll get 300 words from The Fix that describes every possible angle.
…
Also, you don’t want to be under the basket next to Cillizza when a Gonzaga rebound is up in the air. He’ll own it, put back the trash points, and THEN make his way to MSNBC for a TV interview.
Cutest Couple
Examiner’s Kiki Ryan & Bloomberg’s Tim Burger
…
Don’t call it a comeback. The driving force behind Suspicious Package and Mrs. Yeas and Nays are definitely the cutest beltway journos.
Biggest Heartthrob
The Ladies
Angie Goff , WUSA-9
…
Oh My Goff ! No matter what the rush hour traffic is doing inside-the-beltway, WUSA-9 is always bringing the heat.
The Guys
Clinton Yates , Express
…
We got a few emails in support of Dan Zak, but Clinton Yates has always Expressed his FDC support . Hope this helps with the ladies, Clinton.
Biggest Rebel
John Stanton , Roll Call
…
This was tough. We supported Ryan Grim as our FamousDC Media Ticket Drug Czar and we hope that keeps us on the invite list for his Ken Kesey Eastern Shore adventures.
…
But how can you think of parties when you have an All-American Bad Ass that eats fireworks for breakfast ? We support the rebel with a cause, Mr. Stanton .
Hardest Working
Shira Toeplitz , Roll Call
…
Wolf Blitzer never sleeps, but Shira doesn’t take holidays. We hope the FamousDC endorsement convinces her to work so hard this year that she forgets to cheer for the Steelers .
Class Clown
Liz Glover , TWT
…
If you had a microphone and met Steve Buscemi, what would you ask him? The Yoga instructor and Twitter master, Liz Glover is class clown .
Good luck to everyone! And make sure your vote counts .
