Tim Kaine’s Quality Hammer Time at Caps Game

This might sound like a bit of a whiskey dream, but rapper and preacher MC Hammer was spotted at Tuesday night’s Washington Capitals game straight chilling with Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.

Apparently, Kaine was invited to the game by Caps co-owner Raul J. Fernandez. It was just a coincidence, or divine intervention, that Hammer was also there.

“I’m sure that the senator had a great time,” said Kaine spokeswoman Amy Dudley.

At least according to this picture of the happy trio, Hammer did not hurt them and they had the best time ever. The Caps, possibly inspired by Kaine and Hammer, defeated the Winnipeg Jets and claimed yet another Southeast Division title.

This is MC Hammer’s second high-profile Washington pop-up this year. In January, he hung out with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and a whole mess of U.S. mayors.
