people come in and they vote on it. it's a democratic process and it is just, you know, beauty. >> and again, there are great pictures and great little titles of who they are. the black sheep, i mean as far as some of their past history, really interesting in these young people. >> number one guy, you know, he was model before he went to work at the hill. on capitol hill, that is. but before that, he was away to tgi fridays. the line we had was, thank god for friday. >> i want to drop all the way down to number 49. a guy named andrew aaron who is a very nerdy looking guy. in fact, he's a nerd. >> well, you know, democratic in that respect as well. i can't tell you that about mr. aaron, but we have members of congress. we have staffers. we have lobbyists, etcetera. it's right across the board. >> what about a former gop

but the other is buying a new swim suit. yeah, because inevitably, it leads to the dressing room moment when the harsh, unforgiving lights reveal all too clearly that while this might be how we see ourselves, this is closer to what the world is looking at. yeah. it is just reality. and for years, i have been grateful that stylish men swim suits were long and baggy. if anybody dared to step to the pool, you could chuckle. skinny dude, he has no style, you might say. but fellas, the tables have been turned. the "new york times" says these shorter, tighter sea creatures are the new hot look. apparently daniel craig, aka, james bond had something to do with this. sales are way up. so pretty soon, our old fatefuls will be the mark of the old guy. about like these skirts you used to snicker at. like i said, the tables, they

have been turned. but you know what? i am not going out like that. gentleman, daniel craig can do whatever he wants to do, hang out with the queen of england, whatever. i am seriously going old school. in fact, you might call it bringing sexy back. yeah. you might call it that, but you probably won't. anita. >> can we see mr. bond again? just one more time. >> i think you could pull off that look. you are very athletic. so you could pull it off. >> there he is, so dreamy. >> wow, okay, moving on to the weather. >> all right, so swim suit weather this weekend, well potentially. still hot and humid. i'm not talking any crazy storms and the severe threat, it's not there. that's the good news. all right, here's a look at our michael and son weather camera. a beautiful shot of the nation's capital there and temperatures are around 86

degrees. mostly cloudy conditions, dew points are in the upper 60s and lower 70s right now. so temperatures are still pretty sticky. right now outside the beltway, 70s already. 75 in manassas. 77 in leesburg. dew points are in the 60s and 70s. still very sticky, humid weather out there. it will be humid for the next couple of days at least. all right, so saturday morning it's going to be dry. go out and get that run in. by the afternoon, we could see some scattered thunderstorms. not everybody will see them. we'll be hot and humid and sunday, only a stray thunderstorm possible. thunderstorm chances on sunday are lower compared to saturday. check out your future cast. tomorrow morning will be dry, a few clouds out there. still humid. and for the afternoon and evening, popup thunderstorms. now i can't rule out completely one or two of those storms just because we do see, you know, some sunny conditions, the atmosphere could be unstable.

that risk is very, very minimal. partly to mostly cloudy. lows 69 to 75 degrees. your saturday morning, partly sunny and muggy. air quality is code yellow, which is moderate. for the afternoon, partly sunny and humid. have the umbrella just in case as we see scattered thunderstorms are possible. a couple could be strong. highs in the lower 90s. check out your zone forecast. we start in western maryland. oakland lower 70s. cumberland 86. hagerstown, martinsburg, upper 80s, close to 90. culpeper, you're heating up to 95 degrees. downtown, 93. annapolis in the lower 90s. keep in mind, average high for this time of year is upper 80s. for saturday, our 9 weather alert code is yellow because of the chance for scattered showers and storms. sunday, low 90s. monday, temperatures in the upper 80s. check out your next seven days. all right, so you can notice every day we have a chance for

showers and storms next seven days. hold on to the umbrella. just in case. temperature wise, not too bad. we heat things up next friday back into the mid 90s. but hey, no triple digits and not expecting widespread severe weather. >> we will take it. >> the redskins still got a will the of questions to answer. >> absolutely. one guy, big fella. he needs to step up. i call him big for one simple reason. you're going to hear from a redskins player who needs to produce really, really bad. they call him big hank for a big reason. is he ready to go full throttle after his injury? could it be the nats are the first teams to 60 wins

we got this new opener. >> the biggest hands at the nfl combine last season. almost 11 inches from pinky to thumb, which means his hands look like this huge foam

finger. now this is good for a wide receiver because you can catch things. those large mitts struggled with dogs hand with. he has been cleared to practice, but not fully healthy yet. last year, he struggled learning the play book. this year, a lot expected of him and he is expecting a will lot of himself. >> i know what the coaches expect. i know what i need to do. i have more confidence in the play book. i know it a whole lot more. i know i can go out there and be confident in what i do and have fun. >> all right, trent williams and davis are two guys who are one bad decision for being expelled. after violating the lead's substance abuse policy. another violation, they gone. have they changed their habits? hope so. >> it's stressful. this is something i'm not going

to do. i'm not worried about it. >> if they slip up, not only are they killing themselves, but hurting our football team. they both come in excellent shape. they made a commitment to work out, work out extremely hard and proud of the way they handled themselves. >> all right, let's hope so. my producer sent me a note today that read like this. if the nats win tonight and the yankees lose, they'll be the first team in baseball to 60 wins. this thing is incredible. dude, the nats are going to make the playoffs. get used to it, it's going to happen. there is ross there, your fifth starter. fourth inning, carrie hearth, remember? corey heart bangs a home run. craig came on in relief and provided none. the brewers score a couple. nats six-game win streak is over. the brewers shut them out 6-0. >> what a roller coaster night for the o's. they were down and went ahead 6-

5. they fell behind, rallied to go up 9-8 and gave up six runs. the orioles still in the thick of things in the wild card. they lose 14-9. all right. bye bye. >> look at that. get up and laugh. >> he needs something harder than a foam hip.
