MEDIA ELITE TOAST MCCAIN AT ELITE EAST SIDE BOITE

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain hosted a hyper-exclusive 68th birthday party for himself at La Goulue on Mad Avenue on the eve of the convention, leaving no media icon behind.

WASHINGTON POST reports Tuesday how guests included NBC's Tom Brokaw and Tim Russert, ABC's Peter Jennings, Barbara Walters, Ted Koppel and George Stephanopoulos, CBS's Mike Wallace, Dan Rather and Bob Schieffer, CBS News President Andrew Heyward, ABC News chief David Westin, Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons, CNN's Judy Woodruff and Jeff Greenfield, MSNBC's Chris Matthews, CNBC's Gloria Borger, PBS's Charlie Rose _ pause here to exhale _ and U.S. News & World Report publisher Mort Zuckerman, Washington Post Chairman Don Graham, New York Times columnists William Safire and David Brooks, author Michael Lewis and USA Today columnist Walter Shapiro.

They and others dined on lobster salad, loin of lamb, assorted wines, creme brulee, lemon souffle and French tarts.

4. Hysterical

McCain sure gets good press and I guess he knows how to thank his pals. This type of function must be the type where are these whores get their stories straight with each other and develop the media talking points.

[Democat]

5. Are they setting him up for VP, or will he just keep slamming Kerry?

Either way, the media loves Bush and McCain and hates Kerry.
