Because, well, everyone seems to be partnering with Johnny Walker Blue for something this holiday season, the Politico did, too, taking over the Corcoran last night for an impressive, journalist-heavy holiday bash (referred to by one as "Mike Allen's bar mitzvah"). There was plenty of talk about David Gregory (no, he didn't show), Ana Marie Cox's new hair do (split verdict), fleece as acceptable cocktail party attire and -- from the boys -- Shannon Flaherty.

Lots of photos after the jump (UPDATE: And Politico's own write-up here)...
