Meet the man who made Aaron’s abs the issue

From Politico:

Although it struggled in the beginning to plant its flag in Washington, D.C., entertainment news and gossip site TMZ has recently beefed up its efforts to pull back the curtain on our nation’s capital and its power players. A quick glance at TMZ.com might find one of its cameraman asking a congressman about Twitter or whether Rep. Aaron Schock has better abs than President Barack Obama.

POLITICO sat down with TMZ founder Harvey Levin on Thursday during his latest swing through Washington in order to find out: Is our fair city really that interesting?

This video is the result:

My two cents: Yeah, any publicity is good publicity, right? Sure it is. Just remember, what Harvey Levin and his ilk given, they can taketh away. His minions are making phone calls and rumaging through garbage cans to shed light on politicians’ policies on gun control or the stimulus package. They want to do to Aaron Schock and Nancy Pelosi what they did to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In other words, he wants to use them and their reputations to make as much money as possible. As least FoxNews gives a rats ass about the issues, however biased it is.

    I think Nancy Pelosi and the Obama administration should be happy that Harvey Levin and TMZ has come to DC. They claim to be the transparent administration and truthful with no secrets. TMZ certainly is not right wing. They always give the Obama administration positive press. Make friends with Harvey and TMZ.
