DC's VIPs came out last night for Peter Beinart's book release party at the home of Mark Penn (above, right) and Nancy Jacobson. Attendees included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Leon Panetta, the Newshour's Anne Davenport, the Wonkette boys, Alexander Barnes Dryer, Rita Braver, Kenneth Pollack, Andrea Koppel, William Galston, Sen. Ron Wyden and so many more.

And because bloggers like nothing more than hanging out with each other...
