Talk about a target-rich environment

From the Chicago Tribune:

Emanuel closed out Inauguration Day with private party
With Buddy Guy rocking the stage, Absolut vodka flowing and waiters passing out crab cakes and mini-sliders, Rahm Emanuel's late-night party closed out the Inauguration Day festivities.

The blues guitarist cranked out "Sweet Home Chicago" just past 1 a.m. Tuesday in front of a crowded dance floor in a nightclub packed with political operatives, Democratic appointees, lobbyists, journalists and party crashers.

The private party, which began at 11 p.m. Monday at a nightclub near the White House, was billed as "Midnight Underground, a Chicago-style After-Hours."

Seen: Host Emanuel, of course, plus Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, New York Times political reporter Jeff Zeleny; and Donovan Pepper, a Deerfield-based lobbyist for Walgreen Co.

One small Ka-Boom and we would be so much better off... Oh well...
