The clamor of parties, booze and buffets, Bartosiewicz says, made her sick – a group that made “a perfect living joke of “family values” (though faithfully attending prayer breakfasts in the morning).”
Though congressmen and elected officials are mostly absent, the parties she visits are a ribald display of prurient excess.
“At a bowling party for California Congressman David Dreier… a blonde in a fishnet body stocking hung from the ceiling on a turquoise scarf, twirling and contorting,” she notes. “Two nights later, at a honky-tonk salute to Texas Congressman Joe Barton, chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce… a little girl rode an electric bucking bull in an inflatable farm pen, and 20-foot black cowboy boots decorated in purple and gold stood over the room.”
