I've been to these kinds of confabs, dinners and cocktail parties. Back then no one would have been so informal in the wording, but it is 2014, not 1987, so the sloppiness and silliness of the Left doesn't surprise me at all, even at that level. Remember: The big-wigs don't do the grunt work for these people, the “dude, that was two years ago!” staffers do and they're typical Millennials, casual, lazy, ironic and badly educated, yet sure of themselves, since they've been getting trophies and ribbons for just showing up their whole lives.

I tend to agree that it’s genuine, for similar reasons.

Who but a cadre of limousine leftists would fail to see the irony in printing “lessons we can learn from New York’s path to social and economic equality” literally two inches away from “a glass of wine and late night snacks... in the Ritz-Carlton’s Presidential Suite offering stunning views of the Chicago skyline.”
