Sweethearts, not bleeding hearts

I don't know whether this is clever or awful, though I lean towards the latter. If it were a Black People Love Us style joke, I'd definitely laugh, but it's as serious as an Armond White review. AFF recently hosted a mixed party dating roundtable, and I've been told by authoritative sources that it was "silly" (which, Julian, was not intended as derogatory). I'm suspicious of cross-party dating, however, mainly because of how it turned out for Donna and her incident with the guy and the boxes at Farragut Grille. In the end, everything in D.C. goes back to The West Wing.
