In addition to updating us on the damage to Democratic headquarters, Wonkette is insinuating that some Washingtonians may be less than manly:
Anyway, continuing our coverage-by-proxy of the state of the Democratic Party, we've received what we're pretty sure is the definitive reports on the DNC flood'watch:
The Democratic Club, which is next door to Democratic HQ, is fine. The Democratic National Headquarters, which houses the DNC and the DCCC, is the damaged one. Somehow the 1st and 3rd floors were mostly spared, while the second floor is destroyed. Most of the power is out, there's one to two inches of water on the floor in places, and rumor has it Rahm Emanuel's office is soaked.
Has anyone seen G. Gordon Liddy hiring out a cloud seeder?
The Libertarian Party is pleased to report that other than some minor flooding in Shane Cory's office, we are running at 100%. As a matter of fact, with reports that the rain will be stopping in DC over the next couple of days, we're packing up the office to head off to Portland so perhaps we might enjoy a bit more of this liquid sunshine.
We haven't heard any reports about the state of GOP HQ, but if there's a power outage there, one can reasonably be assured they won't be burning flags for emergency fuel over there.
By the way, we understand that G. Gordon Liddy has already figured out how to access our building.
