...many Harvard encounters, the dancing was ever so slightly awkward and forced, as if these students who had just celebrated their 21st birthdays were play-acting themselves in 30 years, when they would be grinning at younger dancing partners, having again consumed (and spilled) one too many glasses of wine. With her bleached hair and fearsome tan, one dancer looked more “Girls Gone Wild” than Givenchy. Her partner was shimmying in his shiny shoes, but she only stumbled in a circle as he twirled her around. When he dipped her, her mouth gaped open...

Tropical fruit spreads, bowls of berries, cauldrons of rich, hot, nut-filled cereal, plates of smoked King Salmon, pear butter, and baskets of Blueberry Peanut muffins covered three ping-pong-sized tables. And that was just breakfast...

George Will located Obama securely in Adlai Stevenson's wine cellar, representing the effete strand of liberalism that corrupted F.D.R.'s party of the working people. William Kristol went straight for the main chance, positing Obama as a direct descendant of - yes - Karl Marx, who famously proclaimed religion to be the "opiate" of the masses.
