David Gregory: DC Asshole of the week

I know that this is very City Paper of me, but this story about TV talking head David Gregory (D-NBC) throwing a fit over parking issues in his "this is where the rich people live in DC" neighborhood really makes the "Meet the Press" host a perfect choice for my inaugural DC Asshole of the Week.

Hopefully it will be another few years before another one is awarded to some idiot who doesn't understand what "public" means in reference to a street and parking.

Gregory flatly denied warning the show-house folks that he “knows all the politicians in town,” as witnesses claim.

"Witnesses" (Plural) -- What a schmuck!

This work made its debut at the Affordable Art Fair in New York City and it is now in the collection of a major, major, New York collector... that's what I'm talking about!

One of the critics from ArtNews magazine who has been following my work since the last Miami art fairs and who was here for the press preview told me that I need to make these electronic pieces much larger... which is exactly what my gallerist from Ireland advised.
