The NYT has discovered the Bloomberg party. Apparently, it's "the biggest event on the Washington social scene." (Well, if you don't count the National Spelling Bee. ) But who believes the Times? We emailed Bloomberg's party czar, Chris Taylor, to ask if it's true that the soiree is "C-Span meets 'Access Hollywood' to create a nerdier stepsister of Vanity Fair's Oscar fete." We, of course, believe it to be a lavish version of a high school student council convention. But Taylor's Blackberry would not allow her to elaborate on the proper comparison; the prospect of the article generating a yet more nightmarish scene at the door may also have overwhelmed the put-upon planner. All we got was a plea: "Could you write that I'm going to perform random ID checks?"
