"It's Big, I Tell You, BIG!"

Bat-mitzvah celebration? Wedding dinner? 50th anniversary? No, huge celebration of non-victory…

It was a perfect reproduction of an actual
victory speech, delivered at a perfectly
ersatz celebration at a perfectly ersatz

sculptures, indoor fountains and a
commanding view of I-595. The Signature
Grand ("Elegant Weddings and Grand
Social Occasions") was also holding
receptions Tuesday night for a pediatric
practice and a group of optometry students,
but the Clinton campaign was the biggest
draw: it filled the Silver Palm room, the
Golden Palm room, AND the Emerald Palm
room.
