Google "On-site bbq catering Washington DC whole pig." It's rich-guy fad.

If it were summertime I'd be thinking the pig was just catered in. But the 28th of December? The whole point of a cookout is to be outside, the more open the space the better. If you cater a party in late December, why bother with the cookout theme?

Yep, never underestimate the epic status signalling get-togethers of DC politicians and lobbyists.

Wouldn't surprise me if the handmade tortillas being flown in from Mexico were in fact actual tortillas, though I guess the use of code talk is possible. Lobbyists are addicted to flamboyant schmoozing with using outlandish pulls to reel in politicians and their families, within their sphere of influence. In Washington DC, everything is about asserting ones relevance, power, and social networking ability ... not that I would ever stand in the same room with creepy Podesta brothers; they make my skin breakout in goosebumps just thinking about it.

Yes, it's so "statusy" to see how many children you can get to a party. Those of the kind of stats that flamboyant lobbyists schmooze about in the hallowed halls. "You only got a measly 12 kids? At out suckling pig party, we got over 32 underage attendees -- most of them still in diapers!!!! Yup, I can see your point that it would be quite a coup. Especially with all the drinking going on. One thing adult lobbyists/lawmakers like is children underfoot so they can trip over them when they're guzzling beer. Status signalling at its finest!! These are the kind of debunking attempts that make everyone convinced there's something going on besides roasting a pig.
