Picture at right is local media darling Patrick Gavin. For those of you just tuning in, he’s a gossip reporter for both The Examiner and FishbowlDC. We’ve long dissected and translated his work — which has made some people mad sometimes. Which we think is quite funny!

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.

Today 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?

Patrick Gavin and Jeff Dufour, those pretty gossip boys over at the Examiner, have penned a second item in less than a month on Jeff Gannon’s book, which, according to our own reporting at Radar, has been selling less well than Gannon has hoped. So! The question begs to be asked: Are Gavin and Dufour in bed with Gannon?

We missed this City Paper nugget from a few days back, but we find it funny nonetheless that seemingly everyone — whether they read the rag, or not — is mad at the The Examiner: Read more…

Examiner’s Yeas and Nays column has gone on hiatus for two weeks:

Yeas & Nays will be off for the next two weeks, returning on Aug. 27 with more people, power and politics from inside the Beltway. Thanks for reading during our first year, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Expect more blogging at FishbowlDC from Patrick Gavin who takes credit for half of the Examiner’s column each day along with his partner in crime Jeff Dufour.
