Julia Louis-Dreyfus Visits the Washington Post

Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is in the Washington Post newsroom, according to multiple employees, many of whom are finding excuses to get water and walk on by, I hear. I’ve asked HBO and the Post what she’s doing there. And I’m looking for more photos! (Email me: abeaujon@washingtonian.com; Twitter @abeaujon.) Here are some tweets from Post staffers.

These people never come to the 4th floor. And yet we’re the ones who make or break them. https://t.co/Fb9Fq2vLmG

Must say, the @washingtonpost newsroom kept it together much better than on the great shame of Brad Pitt Day in 2007: http://t.co/vZn2PGNlln

Went to the bathroom. Came out to find Julia Louis-Dreyfus washing her hands at the sink. Smiled and fled. #Washpostlife

Julia Louis-Dreyfus was just in the @washingtonpost newsroom. I can tell she was impressed by those of us who hung back and acted aloof

Expertly timed bathroom trip = nearly bumping into @OfficialJLD

The newsroom tried to play it cool and failed miserably with @OfficialJLD in the building. Are we going to be on @VeepHBO?!?!

GREAT way to get me to come in on time for work: give me the heads up that @OfficialJLD is going to be in the Newsroom.

Louis-Dreyfus visited with US Senator John McCain Monday and posted a picture of a floor at the US Capitol on Instagram Tuesday.

Pretty patriotic floor tile at the U.S. Capitol. #veep
