Blingophobia

There will be a discreet license tag, anonymously DC city, a federal government car number, or a diplomatic tag, if appropriate. Rarely is there an entourage, no police escort. Those are for the outsiders who are only visiting or, occasionally, a simple bunch of tourists who want a little thrill. The real heavyweights are in the black four-doors. Yesterday, I saw a white stretch SUV ‘round the corner in Georgetown. Today, I spotted a stretch black limo slipping down Pennsylvania Avenue. Those are New Yorkers or Angelinos here for a holiday weekend, not the local honchos of the capitol.
