Although this isn't a great source, I agree with what the article is saying. CNN's Anderson Cooper is covering all of the White House parties admiringly on his show and doesn't appear to think there's anything wrong with it. Earlier this week, they interviewed the woman in charge of the invites and the social calendar and she was unabashedly chortling about all of the attention she's getting and how the White House parties are the toast of the town.

It's really a disgrace. And it's especially disturbing how the much-exulted, "intelligent" Obama doesn't see how this is a problem. Or he DOES get it and he simply doesn't care and won't let it interfere with his fun.

Could this turn into another "let them eat cake" moment or another Nero fiddles while Rome burns? Perhaps it's an example of Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the Red Death".

I'm sure Entertainment Tonight will be covering the Wednesday night parites very soon. Mary Hart reporting of course. Why not? They have Obama stories nightly wrapped in with all the celebs.
