    1. To be fair,  Stephen Strasburg a Pitcher for the Washington Nationals was higher on the list. So I’m not really sure this means anything.

      Every time this gets posted, I get a pretty good chuckle, because the entire thing is absurd.

      First, it’s a list by GQ. If GQ is the authority on power structures within DC, that’s news to me.

      Second, he’s listed 49th, directly behind Stephan Strasburg and ahead of a group of people that don’t even live in DC. The Washington Post’s weather columnists are ranked 38. The dude isn’t even the highest ranked restaurant owner on the list; Jose Andres is ranked 41.

      Third, lists like this are paid-for PR. Similar to Forbes’ wealth lists, the entire thing is a ploy by the publication to sell the lower ranked spots to people who can benefit from being associated with the elites at the top of the list.
