I want to know WHAT was going on at these Georgetown cocktail parties last night

[bluestateguy]

This is part of the whole problem with Washington: cocktail parties and secret pow-wows where powerful people make deals and take care of each other.

I want to know WHAT is going ON at these cocktail parties.

1. Damage control by the powerful

and a lot of pursed lips among their spouses.

I don't think they were particularly happy events, no matter how freely the booze was flowing.

2. Good luck with that. Sometimes a party is just a party, too. nt

3. Yes, it is. Looking back on it, it's a badge of honor Sally Quinn and David Broder

said the Clintons 'trashed' Washington.

4. Georgetown?

Ah, no. That was a long, long time ago.

The parties were held at downtown hotels..............
