By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe launch party Thursday night for the renovated Hotel Washington, now called W Hotel by its new owners, was a mix of White House staff, socialites, media, business executives and athletes. The famous hotel, built in 1917 at Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th Street NW, has been the site of many political meetings and a residence for lawmakers.

He was attempting to honor Roberto Clemente, but Yankees fans were offended that someone would trounce on Paul O'Neill's memory.
