Brad Pitt Hot In DC

Photobucket
Capitol Hill was treated to one half of The Brange hysteria yesterday. Brad Pitt met with Nancy Pelosi yesterday on behalf of "Make It Right," a project he helped launch in 2007 to construct affordable and environmentally sustainable housing for low-income residents of the lower 9th Ward in New Orleans who lost their homes as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

And while he was obviously there to draw attention to Make It Right, his mere presence sent Capitol Hill into a tizzy.

The Hill reports:

Pelosi’s office made no immediate comments on the meeting, but in a staff meeting earlier in the day, some Pelosi aides discussed what to say if the media asked why she was meeting with Pitt.



An aide said, “All the women in the room said, ‘Why not?’”



Mary Tarr, the office manager for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), waved a sign at Pitt as he walked into Murray’s office.





“Angeline, Christine and Lindsay, I’m here at the Capitol talking to your mom,” the sign read. She was hoping to get Pitt to take a photo with her so her daughters would believe she saw him.



“I never do this — I swear,” she said.






Love it!
