Local blogger K Street Blues has a hysterical take on the search for the new voice of the Metro.
So what if Metro got some politicos and famous-for-D.C. types to do their announcements? Some examples could be…
Bill Clinton: “I did not stand in the way of those doors, on the Metro train.”
George H.W. Bush: “Read my lips: Stand clear of the doors.”
James Carville: “It’s the closing doors, stupid.”
Howard Dean: “Yyyyyaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh! Stand clear!” (Or, alternatively, “The doors are gonna close at Dupont Circle, and Woodley Park, and Cleveland Park! They’re gonna close at Farragut West! And King Street! And Wheaton!”)
JFK: Ask not what what the Doors can do for you, ask what you can do for the Doors.
Dan Snyder: Stop thinking about the doors or I’ll trade you.
Nixon: I am not a door-blocker.
Oliver North: I don’t think there is another person in America that wants to close these doors as much as I do.
Oh this is just fun. Contribute your own in the comments.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
