Ain't No Party Like A State Department Party

I know, it is the New York Post, so grain of salt and all …

A State Department worker cruising down 34th Street with three scantily clad women in what appeared to be a government car with flashing lights collided with a yellow cab last night after allegedly running a red light, police said.

The unnamed fed – who was armed according to witnesses – was shouting at other motorists through a public address loudspeaker in the car as he maneuvered his Buick LeSabre westbound in the eastbound lane on East 34th Street at about 11:30 p.m.

He allegedly ran a red light at Lexington Avenue and was broadsided by the cab, cops said.

The witnesses spotted the three young women in the car – as well as a cooler in the backseat and a case of Heineken in the trunk.

And, yes, Nagelberg’s whereabouts are accounted for at that time.
