Even Dick Cheney is curious about who runs Washington.
The vice president was spotted Tuesday night with a copy of Washingtonian magazine's October issue featuring the "Power 150," its choices for the capital city's most influential people in business, culture, education and other pursuits.
(Sorry, Mr. Vice President, elected officials were excluded. But you do appear in a photo at a Kennedy Center event.)
With his motorcade waiting outside the Borders bookstore at L and 18th streets NW, several people watched through streetside windows as Cheney browsed on the store's ground floor.
He picked up copies of the late David Halberstam's new book, "The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War," and the companion book to Ken Burns' PBS series "The War," according to a person in the store who asked not to be identified.
After waiting in line behind a handful of other shoppers, Cheney paid for his items and left as quietly as he arrived.
