Sorry if this already well known. I searched the subverse for Michael Werz but didn't see this.

Full email text from Michael Werz:
Dear friends and colleagues, We will have the third annual cookout at 1837 California Street NW on Sunday, December 28th and we would like you and your partner to be part of it. This year, our party will be taco themed—with fresh, handmade tortillas flown in from Mexico the previous day, an entire suckling pig as well as sides and salsas. We plan to start eating (and drinking) in the early afternoon hours at 3 p.m. Kosher and vegetarian options will be available. We will have a decent selection of white and red wines at hand as well as beer. This is a family friendly event, so you should bring all children that are available. Please let us know if you will join in. All best, Helga Flores, Matt Duss, Michael Werz P.S. Parking is difficult in our neighborhood, Dupont Metro ten minutes by foot. 16th and U Streets bus stop five minutes.
Podesta's Response:
Thanks Michael. We'll be in California. Love to Helga.
Building square footage doesn't seem that large, and adults will be drinking starting at 3PM, so why should everyone bring any children that "are available"?

Seems that Podesta and Werz did go back at least a bit.

Two years earlier, Podesta gave the keynote address at a TUSKON conference in Istanbul. In his speech—titled “The Unique Importance of the Turkish-American Relationship”—he praised CAP senior fellow Michael Werz for his work on “strengthening the US-Turkey relationship.” He also pointedly noted that Werz’s predecessor as CAP’s Turkey expert, Spencer Boyer, had left the think tank to become the Obama administration’s deputy assistant secretary for European affairs.

Yeah, this is creepy. Also, is it normal to say "suckling pig" when you're having a pig roast? Very good find!

Yes Suckling pig is absolutely normal language...the rest of the email, not so much. Who would "fly" tortillas a day in advance from mexico? We all know were not talking about corn chips here.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Yes, that's strange, too. Reminds me of Obama flying in pizza and hotdogs.
