What Washington Hath Wrought


Today the National Press Club announced the craziest show to hit the Washington music scene since Dismemberment Plan decided to reunite for two performances this weekend. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, who's recovering well from his cancer surgery, and CBS anchor Bob Schieffer go head to head in a battle of the bands dubbed Honky Tonk Meets the White House Wonk. The veteran newsman sings with Honky Tonk Confidential, a country-western band, while the Bushie plays guitar and flute with folksily-named Beats Workin'. Proceeds from the May 14 jam, which costs $60 for non-press club members, go towards building a to support the National Journalism Library.

Thanks to YouTube you can catch Snow's Ron Burgundy-esque jazz flute stylings. What will happen when these two titans collide? We can't be sure, but don't be surprised to find DCist in a bunker with an iPod and a cyanide tablet when this musical apocalypse hits the airwaves.
