Spotted!: Gates And Crowley Reportedly Partake In Beer Summit Part Deux
Jillian Rayfield | October 29, 2009, 12:33PM

Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley -- of White House Beer Summit fame -- were reportedly drinking together once again last night -- this time in a Cambridge pub.

Gates and Crowley were the subject of some controversy back in July after Crowley (who is white) arrested Gates (who is black) in his home, sparking a national debate about race relations in America. Things came to a head when President Obama commented that Crowley had "acted stupidly" in his arrest of Gates, and then held a "beer summit" at the White House so he, Gates, and Crowley could resolve the conflict.

Now, it seems, the two are at it again, meeting in a pub called "River Gods" in Cambridge for about an hour, according to the owner.

Sadly, Joe Biden did not pop in for a visit this time.

while i thought obama's initial kneejerk comments were uncalled for (and he apologized), i thought the beer summit was a brilliant idea.

good to see gates and crowley may have developed mutual respect for each other, their respective positions, and may even like each other.

strange bedfellows? not so much

got a series sitcom in it--real legs!
