At Large Cocktails and Cash
posted by on August 3 at 16:15 PM
I’m two hours ahead, so it’s cocktail hour here at YearlyKos in Chicago (as the man in the background of this photo clearly knows).
Foreground: Darcy Burner, who wasn’t drinking (yet) when I ran into her. Why is she here? First answer: “This is a group of people who are working very hard to change the way politics works in this country.”
Really? Isn’t the potential for future netroots fund-raising a big draw?
“Certainly my presence isn’t hurting in that regard,” Burner told me.

Eli, please get liquored immediately.
Seriously. That, like, isn't even a conversation.
"the man in the background" has to be Dean Nielsen, local uber-liberal and fan of drinks at political functions.

Remember Hard Cider!
hey, I got that quote in the Weekly BoS ...
Well, at least you got a nice photo of Darcy. (BTW, I've seen her at several events, but never with a drink in her hand. She keeps it cool.)
Whew!
We almost went an entire day without a Darcy item.
Feels like 2005: Darcy, Darcy, Darcy!
I really hate to say this, since it confirms that I'm a stereotypical, sexist, terrible person....
...but Darcy Burner is HOT. I'd tap that like a keg at a frat party.
I like Darcy, and gave her money last time, but her "changed way of politics" looks an awful lot like the old way of politics plus spam. She's started to send me emails recommending other candidates. But I DON'T WANT EMAILS. Not from her. But there's no way to opt out, and opting out is a fucking criminal spamlord requirement. Makes me kind of angry just thinking about it.
All these "netroots" people are aggressive spammers.
Hi Dean! Wish I was there.
Oh dear, is that that same Mao suit she wore all last year? Doesn't she own anything else?
She's taking the Dow Constantine approach and sticking with a dark suit wherever she goes...
At least it looks good on her. Some of her male counterparts run with the same bad suit/jacket far too long.
Ha, Dean. Love it.
The Good Doctor Approves!
Dow always looks hot. He's a silver fox for sure.
Dow is mega-hot.
