Next Wednesday night, Joe Biden will arrive for dinner at a historic, treasure-filled San Francisco palace hosted by the Getty family—that elite-of-the-elite surname that has connoted dignity, power, and also senescence in Pacific Heights society for half a century. Biden is attending this fundraiser, which has been kept very under the radar, at the request of Nancy Pelosi, a Getty family friend and featured guest. The event should raise some $2 million for the Biden reelection campaign, I’m told.
Gee, I wonder what the 20 or so couples who paid $100,000 to get a seat at the table next to Biden, Pelosi, power-bundler Ron Conway, or real-estate honcho and event host George Marcus are thinking about these days? Talk about dignity, power, and senescence: The Democratic donor class has thought about almost nothing else since Biden was strafed last week by special counsel Robert Hur as old and mentally unfit.
