Rumsfeld in French restaurant shocker

I'm in DC for a week (see here for why).  I apologise if posting is a little sporadic as a consequence.  I was eating with a friend last night at a very nice French restaurant in Georgetown and who should walk in but Secretary for Defence, Don Rumsfeld.  The American conservative boycott of French Fries etc is clearly over!  I went and said hello and he couldn't have been more charming.  "America couldn't have a better ally than Britain" was his message to me and I pass it on to you.  Anyway, this is a roundabout way of explaining why Good Week, Bad Week hasn't appeared today.  I'm going to write something later and post it this evening (US time) when you guys are all asleep...

Have a good good time in Georgetown Ed.It's a wonderful place.With all the wonderful seafood resturants there,why did you choose to go to a place owned by a 'cheese eating surrender monkey?'More to the point why did Donald Rumsfeld!

It wasn't "Pieds des Cochons," was it? That place is sketchy as hell: I didn't even hang out there when I was in college, and I hung out in plenty of dives. Although I suppose I could see Rummy going there if he wanted to burn off some steam by getting into a brawl or something like that.

If instead it's the place I'm thinking it actually was, on K Street, the name of which escapoes me at the moment, it's very good stuff and a good choice. Shame I won't be down in DC until the week after, Editor, or you could vicariously relive the worst of my youth. ;-)

Malcolm, other than Chesapeake Bay crabs, this Bostonian was always a bit disappointed by DC seafood. I guess I have impossibly high standards to live up to in that regard.

"I'm in DC for a week (see here for why)."

Not travelling with Fox Tours then?

I'm with IDS TOURS James!

I can't remember the name of the restaurant Dave J. Bistro something? I'm going back on Thursday for another meal and will report back on the name. Those snails were delicious...

Editor, did you have the courage to ask Rumsfeld about extraordinary renditrion - the policy of torture of innocent Muslims in Egypt that he personally sanctioned?
