As with the smashingly successful May 10 Obama fund-raiser at George
Clooney's L.A.-area home, which raised nearly $15 million, Parker and
Wintour made room for a couple lucky civilians to join the party. Thursday's
winner -- picked from a pool of contestants who made relatively thrifty
donations of $3 or more on Obama's campaign site -- was Robin Hunt, a health care professional from Baltimore who works at Johns Hopkins Hospital and brought her mother, Elvita, as her guest.
I guess they made her sign some sort of non-disclosure agreement. Odd, that. I would expect that the White House would use someone like that as a perfect way of showing how much in touch with the "ittle people" is the President. I would expect Ms. Hunt and her mother to be guests on GMA or The View, so we could hear how warm the First Lady is, how charming was Barack, how exciting it was to meet all the celebrities, and how she was treated like a princess.
Or did they have a table for her and her mother out in the hallway?
