Sightings: Cantor throws ‘Festivus’ fete at Lincoln

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was spotted Tuesday night at Lincoln Restaurant holding court at his “Festivus for the Rest of Us” holiday-themed fundraiser. The Virginia Republican was sporting a black suit and white shirt, while he entertained guests, (which, according to Mother Jones, included some Occupy D.C. protesters.) Tickets for event ranged from $500 to $2,500, according to the Sunlight Foundation’s Party Time blog. Attendees noshed on comfort food including steak and waffles, butternut risotto, macaroni and cheese and chicken pot pie pastries. They also tried some of Lincoln’s signature cocktails like the Mason Dixon Manhattan and the Moscow Mule, which is served in a festive copper cup. The party went on until 10 p.m.
