Here's the list of President Obama's invited guests to the White House cocktail party tonight -- essentially the bipartisan bicameral leadership of the House and Senate.

Six House Democrats, six House Republicans, six Senate Democrats, six Senate Republicans. Their spouses are invited as well.

Hors d'œuvres -- chicken curry, wagyu steak -- will be served in addition to drinks.

President Obama, it should be noted, is not a particularly big drinker, though he has been known to enjoy a vodka martini time and again.

Repubs should be all over this, serving $100/lb wagyu steak while thousands of people are going on food stamps for the first time.

This is all so petty....
The thermostat thing is embarrising, sure.
But harping over the menu? That makes us look bad.

Not that I disagree so much, but get a life people!

Wagyu (和牛, wagyū?) refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated FAT.

How appropriate!

Those must have been for the Pubbies. Ha.

Wasn’t it Donna Brazeale who made a sarcastic comment about wanting Justice Clarence Thomas to eat a diet high in fats and have a heart attack, or die?

Good thing I’m not a congressman. I wouldn’t have much of an appetite sitting among these bozos.
