THE MEDIA gaggle that descended on Morgan State University last week for a Democratic presidential debate picked a favorite early in the night. It wasn't former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean or Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman. It was heartthrob actor George Clooney. Clooney was the most popular attraction inside the Carl Murphy Fine Arts Center, with scores of eyes following him wherever he went. Armed with a handheld camera, Clooney was shooting footage for his HBO series K Street, a new show filmed and edited on the fly that seeks to blend breaking news with the lives of real and fictional political consultants and lobbyists.

Seems Baltimore's party circuit is keeping up with the weather - getting hot, hot, hot! The recent Literacy Works luncheon was a huge success, according to event committee member Caryn Sagal.

And the first thing Carville told the gathering was that he had changed his mind about talking about his new book, "Buck Up, Suck Up ... And Come Back When You Foul Up: 12 Winning Secrets From The War Room."
