Bikini-clad dancers discoing inside glass-walled showers. Beautiful people carousing on the dance floors and canoodling in the V.V.I.P. room. Murmurs about drugs and sex in other rooms.
Sounds like the perfect place for a Hillary Rodham Clinton fund-raiser, huh?
A week ago, when the senator's re-election campaign announced a Feb. 21 event for donors at the Hell's Kitchen nightclub Pacha, eyebrows went up among some party-going politicos.
Since Pacha opened this winter in the old Sound Factory space, the buzz has been about its hot tubs, wet-n-wild dancers and after-hours antics, which, according to The New York Post, have included a drug overdose and the discovery of a passed-out bank executive who awoke, naked, in a stairwell, claiming he had been drugged. Other Pacha-goers have described watching sex acts, sometimes involving patrons and dancers.
One blog, the Politicker, joked last week that some Clinton aides might trade in their clothes for body paint, as some waitresses apparently do. But yesterday, Team Clinton said they would not have the chance.
Ann Lewis, a spokeswoman for the campaign, said that the fund-raiser was being moved to the Chelsea club Crobar.
The problem, Ms. Lewis said, was space. Pacha, despite its 30,000 square feet, can hold only 250 to 300 people in its largest room, Ms. Lewis said, and it also lacks a stage. She said a large crowd was expected, and Crobar — where Clinton fund-raisers have been held before — has a large central dance floor with balconies above.
"Our organizers said they had already begun thinking about a different location even before this other stuff came up," Ms. Lewis said. She emphasized that reports about the merrymaking at Pacha had nothing to do with the move.

OK, I follow that. But seeing it followed by this sentence:
Ann Lewis, a spokeswoman for the campaign,
nearly gave me a heart attack.
Cheers!
I heard they were going to move it to Barney fags place.
Spwent twoo mwany wears bewond normal child-wrearing frwamework in the bathtub with brother Bwarney Fwank, it expwains everything.
I have no proof, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.
Rumors have it that the stage there has a pole in it, making it perfect for Ms Clintoon.
Maybe she could join those girls up on that stage they are dancing on.
Team Clintoon lies even when we already know the truth.
Ann Lewis is best remembered as Bubba's Kathleen Willey alibi. "He couldn't have raped Willey, because he was with me that night."
Janet Reno Dance Party!
Sounds like a cool place to hang out...but not if the Clintons are going to be there. :(
If you are not from NY, you might want to visit one of those clubs once. If you are from NY and are not on drugs, those places are about as fun as a visit to the dentist's office. Ten dollar drinks, music so loud you can't speak. Anywhere. And every time you turn around there's another B&T guido looking for a fight. No thanks.
