One of our top secret Big Head DC interns had the pleasure of being sent by us to yet another DC Onion launch party on Wednesday. We thought he’d enjoy a few free drinks, meet a hipster gal or three, and maybe even get to smell the greatness that is Wonkette’s Alex Pareene — but all he got was boredom, brownies and WaPo’s Dan Froomkin.

The event was held in a pretty odd venue: the Folger Shakespeare Library. A couple of Onion editors tried to make up for the scene by saying something funny about Shakespeare, but, let’s face it, Shakespeare just isn’t all that funny now that the world’s been blessed with BUMFIGHTS.

Froomkin was witnessed rolling his eyes during said speeches, and later knocked over a glass of water. Yes, tap water. They offered no bottled water, champagne, nor even P.I.N.K. vodka. However, our intern was given a free “I enjoy drinking beer” pint glass, which has gone into the BHDC time capsule in this editor’s kitchen cabinet — for safe keeping, of course.

Oh, and Russ Feingold was there, too. Which made total sense.
