This just in:

This could ruin their reputation: President-elect Barack Obama Tuesday evening attending a dinner party at the home of conservative columnist George Will, attended by fellow conservatives William Kristol and David Brooks.
The press pool following the president-elect reported that he left his temporary home at Washington�s Hay-Adams hotel Tuesday evening and arrived a short time later at Will�s home in the Maryland suburbs. A press pool photographer shot a photo of Kristol, an editor of the Weekly Standard, and Brooks, a columnist at The New York Times.
No other scribes noted. |
Now, if he can hold off the brewing witchhunt against the Bush Administration by the Wizard Conyers he'll be all right in my book.

| Both Brooks and Will are the kind of conservative we need more of. I like to watch ABC's This Week to hear Will's take on the week's events. Lately he's been on 'rule of law', a rather key concept. |

Will is exceptionally insightful and articulate as a weekly columnist, which is why even The Washington Post prints him. He's one conservative commentator that Sam Donaldson could never outargue.
He's also a genuinely nice guy who loves his Cubs, and by all reports a great father of a special needs child.
Were there more like him.
That Obama accepted the invitation I hope implies that he also reads the columns written by his host. If nothing else, Will is always refreshingly original in scope and content.
But then it's immodest to speak of oneself, so I'll cease and desist.  |

Remember the whole "Uniter not a divider" concept?
Maybe we actually will have a president who will try to unite the country this time around, instead of promoting division and extremism.
We don't know much about how Obama will lead yet, but he seems to be at least offering some olive branches to the other side. It's the adult thing to do really, but would not have been done had the other side won the election.
At any rate, I think it's cool they all met and had some dinner together. |

| Darn, I was hoping to hear about the OP's personal experience having dinner with the president elect. |
