BIG HEADLINE NEWS, featuring AP reports

Someone just might have gotten into the eggnog a few days early, and his name is George W. Bush.
“The recent days can be a moment that Americans can be proud of,” the president said at this morning’s White House press conference, which saw him summarize recent Congressional legislation and cooperation.
“I hope the members of Congress enjoy their holiday break,” he added. “I intend to enjoy mine.” No doubt.
We learned only a few short months ago on Big Head DC that Chris Matthews is probably a drunk….now, we’ve discovered he’s a copycat, too.
Beginning this week, the MSNBC host introduced a new segment called “Power Rankings”….as he described on his show this past Friday, “all next week, by the way, we’ve got something big coming up on Hardball. Every night, starting Monday, for five nights, we’re going to have the Hardball power rankings. We’re going to tell you as best I can who’s got the best chance now to win the Democratic nomination. On Tuesday we`ll do the same thing for the Republicans. Then we’re going to run and show who the major contenders are, just like a sports show. We’ll deal with politics.”
That’s all fine and dandy until you realize that FOX Business Network’s America’s Nightly Scorecard has already featured “Power Rankings” a few times a week every night as one of their signature segments. It’s a pretty pathetic sign when an 11-year old network copies an idea from a network, which launched only a few weeks ago, when they had quite a headstart to generate their own material. But, then again, it would have been even more desperate if sister network, CNBC, stole the idea…oh, right, they already succeeded with Happy Hour.

Florida governor Charlie Crist put the gay rumors to bed last week during a bar-hop extravaganza.

I was listening to 106.7 this morning and Chris Matthews was doing his 1,000th interview for his book, and he brought up his (alleged) drinking problem again. He said he hasn’t touched a drink in 13 years, which I know to be false because I’ve personally seen him drinking on several recent occassions, and definitely acting drunk afterwards. Why does he keep saying that? Is it just to make his wife happy, or is he in as much denial as Larry Craig?

After a ho-hum interview by his wife Kathleen Matthews on Thursday night’s show, some D.C. media insiders were wondering privately if the Chris Matthews 10th anniversary Hardball bash would live up to all the hype (Patrick Gavin, after all, has been peeing his pants over this one).
Well, we were there, and can answer definitively: yes AND no. Some big politico “names” did not show, which was disappointing for Chris, but lots of people, including Sen. Ted Kennedy, told him they simply adore his new book Life’s a Campaign, copies of which were readily available for purchase at the decked-out Decatur House (which was kinda crass, if you ask us). Several TV types also told Chris that they thought Jon Stewart was much too hard on him during his recent Daily Show debacle, but just as many were whispering that the clobbering was just what the doctor ordered to tame his ever-growing ego.
The biggest question of the evening was what exactly the somewhat grumpy Chris was drinking. Read more…

Oh my! It’s come to Big Head DC’s attention that Endless Simmer writer Stefanie Gans is the Michael Vick of the DC food scene. Why?
Well, because she eats dogs! Just look at her “about” page where she writes she likes eating “egg and cheese on a begal” and a “begal and cream cheese.” Anyone who eats Snoopy has got to be just plain mean.
And! On her MySpace photos comments, a friend writes about how people used to debate whether she wore a bra to class. Maybe if she’d paid more attention to both the letters on her bra size and the letters in the alphabet, well, Snoopy might be alive and well. It’s sad how a typo can result in a dead dog.
Herein lies the problem with MySpace. Just because YOU keep your pics clean, Stafanie, doesn’t mean an IDIOT FRIEND won’t post a revealing one of you when they make a comment. That’s Stefanie flashing (stage right). Apparently, she also works for some women’s business group, so the pic is pretty much all the proof you need to know how to get ahead in Washington.
Again, poor Snoopy!

An in-the-know tipster recently sent us this party schedule of a rising young star in the Washington athletic scene (we’ve Xed out the name to protect the accused):
X’s Drinking Schedule:
Sunday - Clyde’s wine night with girlfriend, then Saloun for erotic photo hunt (they have the high score)
Monday - Rocket Bar with the boys and scantily clad women
Tuesday - McFadden’s for college night, frequented by Ryan Zimmerman
Wednesday - with Roche (of DC101), 930 club, or Georgetown Waterfront
Thursday - Fly Lounge with girlfriend and her friends, ending up at Smith Point
Friday - takes the night off to play video games and pump up for the game
Saturday - Play Lounge after the game, then sex, drugs, rock and roll
“He only parties on school nights, often with scantily clad women and a couple players on the team…” our tipster says. “X is a nice guy who will strike up a conversation with anyone, often so drunk he can’t see and tells you he didn’t eat before he went out so he could get his money’s worth…”

Does this look like a non-alcoholic beverage to you? Could this drink shared among pals have caused a much-reported-on presidential “stomach ailment” (otherwise known as a hangover)?
