Slow it down folks. A broad selection of A-List DC celebs were involved. So, unless you can somehow explain why Eleanor Holmes Norton would be at a GOP fundraiser, just assume that not everyone who was there was on the take.
Here is a blurb about the event from DC Social Calendar (via GOOGLE's cache):
MARCH 26

Please people, Matthews' comment the other day was preposterous on its face, but don't go flying off the handle trying to smear a member of the (non-Fox) media without doing at least a simple Google search to see who else you'rr "implicating" by their mere association with what on the outside appeared to be a charitable event. In effect by entangling Matthews and Holmes-Norton, you are fulfilling Matthews prediction by making it look like this isn't primarily a GOP problem.
