patrick1.PNGToday in media elite sightings, a tipster says that he or she caught Patrick Gavin, of Fishbowl DC and Examiner fame, huffing and puffing in an apparent attempt to slim down. From the always-anonymous tip box:

I just saw Patrick Gavin jogging through the streets of Glover Park, trying (desperately) to get in shape.

Three observations:

1. Total fashion victim. Who jogs in basketball shorts and a huge headband other than my grandfather??

2. He is VERY overweight. At least 260 pounds. Fat legs and everything.

3. I hope he made it home alive. The way he was sweating and huffing, I got a little scared for him.

Well! At least he’s trying, which is more than we can say for his attempts at gossip blogging most days. Right?

    I bet he stopped for cheeseburgers and a six pack of Old Milwaukee after his jog!

    But, seriously, Rob, I’m a little worried about him after reading this. Can you call and make sure he made it home alive?

    Er…last time I saw photos of you, you weren’t looking all that svelte yourself, Big Belly…er…Head Rob.

    Here’s an idea. Why not join Gavin on his runs? Aside from getting some much-needed exercise, he might be able to give you a few pointers about how to break into the blogging biz.

    Good idea, Masked Blogger! I could run with Patrick Gavin! But could I run in the same circles as him? ;-)

    It sounds like Latrick Lavin was pretty much running in place. Such a great metaphor for his life!!!

    In all seriousness, the rapid weight gain can’t be good for his heart. He has packed on at least 60 pounds in less than a year.

    60? When I saw him at the last blogger meet-up, he looked like he’d gained at least 95 pounds.

    No more than 75 lbs. But he is gaining it funny, I agree. Legs and bottom are disproportionately large for a male.

    Nope. I was at that blogger meetup too, and Patrick Gavin had put on at least 88 pounds since last year.

  1. 10. my two cents said:


    When you lose a spouse to cancer and have a parent dealing with a debilitating illness, I think you are more than entitled to gain a few pounds. However, if your full-time job is hobnobbing with the media and political elite — and you are always spotted with a drink in your hands — you have no excuse.

    Who lost a spouse to cancer and has a parent with a debilitating illness?

  1. […] Lately, things have turned more personal. People have seen him jogging around town in an apparent effort to ward off heart disease, so we told you about that. People have been questioning his dance skills, so we showed you a video. People have been asking about possible ties to the Dennis Kucinich campaign…oh wait, we haven’t said anything about that — yet. Today, we take you in a new direction. It’s time to assess Gavin’s dress and overall appearance at the big Meet the Press anniversary party earlier this week. Word is, he desperately didn’t want his picture snapped, but we still managed to land our hands on one (again, it’s the pic at right). So, what do you think? Should he have sported a jacket? What about his teeth? Like the blue shirt? Why doesn’t he button the top button? You tell us now. […]
