IT'S NOT JUST ELVIS AND NIXON: We don't normally link to Talking Points Memo around here, but when they do a slideshow of politicians' often-awkward encounters with musicians, we feel obligated to do so. Michael Jackson staring at Ronald Reagan! "Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) and James Brown at the 90th birthday party for Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC)!" Paul Simon (in a very odd leather ensemble) chatting with Harry Reid! Salt-N-Pepa, Michael Bolton, and Jerry Nadler!

  1. Senator or Rhymin' Simon?

    The former Mr. Carrie Fisher.

    And Matt failed to mention ALOTTFMA fave? (or at least oft mentioned) Leonard Cohen with Jimmah.

    oh, and 2 comments on the leather garb:

    (1) it really wasn't that weird. Just very early 80s.

    (2) If it had been that kind of weird, we should all give thanks that it wasn't Jerry Nadler who was wearing it.
