Washbag Hangover

Yes, yes, the reopening of the Washington Square Bar & Grill is sort of old news by now, but we had been left wondering: Will the Washbag be able to get back to what it once was, to what made it famous — that is, will it once more be a hangout for politicos flaks, lobbyists, and reporters, like it was in Herb Caen’s glory days.

After checking out this week’s Crackberry Chronicles, Elaine Santore’s political gossip column in the Fog City Journal, we’re going to say, resoundingly yes. Seems earlier this month some lobbyist groups threw a party for some politicians, and some reporters came, and flaks pitched them, and the whole thing was basically one big cluster-love of city politics. Welcome back, Washbag.
