Sickening....Private Valentine Party at the White House

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/14/bush.valentines.ap/index.html

For the second year in a row, President Bush and his wife spent the lovers' holiday formally entertaining about 100 friends and associates at the White House.

Singer Michael Feinstein capped the romantic evening by serenading the crowd, which included new Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, actor Chuck Norris -- wearing black cowboy boots with his tux, of course -- singer Wayne Newton and Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.

Feinstein brought a big smile to the first lady's face with a version of Johnny Mercer's "Laura." He sang for about a half-hour, concluding with Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire."

PUKE....

These MASS murders are celebrating. I don't know how on earth anyone could party when they have the blood of tens of thousands of people on their hands. These people are soulless.

3. Feinstein should have done Spike Jones' version of 'Laura'.
It would have been far more fitting for The Joker's twin sister.

6. LOL, it is a disturbing image.
It reminds me of the many Christmas parties and celebrations that took place as people on the Gulf Coast were living in tents without food and water in the cold.

Now, people have just been thrown out on the streets from hotel rooms as the royal family decadently celebrate. Have they no shame?

7. Laura is an incredibly beautiful tune . . .
. . . one of the best ever written. Too damned bad Pickles gets to enjoy it as "her" song.

11. Yes, exactly!
A true jazz standard with an unbelievably complex chord progression. Charlie Parker's version is the best I've ever heard. Absolutely haunting stuff.

10. her favorite is "Brown Eyed Girl"
by Van Morrison. The WH asked Van the Man to sing it at the first Inauguration and he refused to appear. Good for him!

9. Of course this was after he sent flowers to all the mothers who
had lost their sons in combat, right?
:cry:

Great Balls of Fire. Appropriate song for this administration.

13. "Great Balls of Fire" WTF? Was Jeff Gannon at the Bush White House
Edited on Wed Feb-15-06 11:38 AM by SpiralHawk
Valentine's Party?

How exciting for all the Republicans.


N.B. (Jeff Gannon/James Guckert is the male prostitute with porno web sites who visited the Bush White House nearly 200 times according to the official Secret Service records. For the facts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon )

14. let them eat camembert
The menu included a tasting of American caviar; rack of lamb and vegetables for the main course; and, for dessert, baked camembert and a puff pastry called "The Lovebirds" -- accompanied by the newly hip rose champagne.
