Just Google Party

Rahm Emanuel celebrated the end of the Democratic National Convention on the dance floor, showing off his moves at Thursday’s Google/Vanity Fair party in Denver.

With his jacket and tie off, the top two buttons of his white shirt undone and the sleeves rolled up, the Illinois Democrat danced enthusiastically to a mix of ’70s and ’80s dance moves.

And he wasn’t the only politician at this celebrity/political mix.

Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-S.D.) checked out the wiis but declined to play. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) made his way through the crowded room in a green cardigan, but admitted he was getting warm and would probably remove.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) wisely passed over the long line at the bar and helped himself to a beer from its storage case. And Sen. Claire McCaskill commandeered a booth in one of the more quiet areas of the multi-room event.

Several celebrities mingled with the ordinary folks. Actress Susan Sarandon and Anne Hathaway held court in the VIP area just off the dance floor. “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm posed for pics with female fans and said he was enjoying his first political convention. He added he took plenty of pictures of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) during his acceptance speech.

Taking place at the Exdo Event Center on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Obama’s acceptance speech played on flat screens in the several rooms that made up the party. The main room contained bars made out of ice, lounge chairs and several choices of food. The second room contained the dance floor, while a third room contained a quiet bar area and a fourth room was filled with wiis. The party went until 2:00 a.m. and when the music stopped the crowd called “more music, more music” but alas, all good things must end.
