Madam Secretary Meme Goes From Gay-Bar Banter to State Department Invite

[Are_grits_groceries]

Two gays walk into a bar ...

... and out they walk, less than a week later, from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's office, laughing all the way.

It's an "only in D.C." story, but for Stacy Lambe, Adam Smith and Texts From Hillary, that's how it happened.

The two communications professionals -- Lambe works on clean energy and Smith on campaign finance reform -- went for drinks a week back. It was that recent? Yes. "We were on the rooftop of Nellie's last Wednesday," Smith tells Metro Weekly.

The photo of Clinton looking tough, calm and in charge "in a military C-17 plane from Malta bound for Tripoli, Libya October 18, 2011," as the original Reuters story captions it, became the topic of discussion.

1. Given the circumstances of that trip I can't share their enthusiasm...

But I guess hawkish Dems deserve a meme too.

I don't see why people think that they are unique because they hang out in affluent bars and clubs and text each other constantly, but a lot of recent migrants to DC seem to think they have a unique culture with unique access to the corridors of power, separate from people who grew up there. It's sort of a town-gown thing.
