[Zywiec]

1. I wonder if Nancy even knows where she is?

Sad.

[CottonBear]

14. She looks so very fragile. Poor thing. n/t

[dorkulon]

57. Just Say No to sympathy for evil oligarchs! (nt)

[Maru Kitteh]

88. It looks like she's fairly well racked by osteoporosis now. She's paying

for a lifetime of avoiding labor and starving herself. All the Boniva in the world can't make up for her privilege and vanity.

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. She does and I hope the Navy Lt had a good time

[cwydro]

74. omg

:rofl:

[MiniMe]

75. My first thought was her head looks HUGE, it almost looks photochopped

But I think her body is that tiny.

[AlCzervik]

2. Quick someone get Kissinger's wife her black cigarette holder and a pack of Dalmatians to terrorize.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

6. LOL

My exact reaction as well... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[hlthe2b]

9. He looks like the Penguin from Batman in that tux

:rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

20. LOL! Cruella lives!

[Captain Hilts]

28. Gee, I can't believe they invited him. It's not like he hasn't had the chance to dine with QEII...

at the White House before.

Condi's dress is GREAT. Laura should have been wearing something like that.

[eppur_se_muova]

48. He's there to see the drug shipment handed over.

"Saturday Night Live" in the mid-1980s had a series of skits called "Lyndon LaRouche Theatre", satirizing his national TV ads by casting them as a parody of Masterpiece Theatre (LaRouche typically spoke from an armchair in a library.) For example, one skit shows Queen Elizabeth II as a drug dealer. (The author of these skits, comedian Al Franken, broke his glasses helping security personnel remove a LaRouche follower who was heckling Howard Dean during the 2004 Presidential primary season in New Hampshire.<76>)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche

[Captain Hilts]

86. I forgot that QEII is running that drug ring with Kissinger!!!!! nt

[xultar]

64. DUZY!!!

[TechBear_Seattle]

3. That last picture says it all

While neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Phillip look like they are enjoying themselves, they are both attentive to what is going on. Pickles and the woman on Phillip's other side both look they are dozing, and the expression on *'s face reminds me of Homer Simpson dreaming of the Land of Chocolate.

We really have a classy bunch running our country, don't we?

[Fresh_Start]

19. the other lady is Mrs Cheney

she looks like she's fallen asleep

[Captain Hilts]

33. Liz would MUCH rather have been listening to Tony Bennet. nt

[xultar]

Laura looks like she could pinch off lilboot's penis and chew it like a rawhide.

[Maru Kitteh]

90. My thought too. "I really hate this sonovabitch" is what I read.

Like she just can't stand the stink of him anymore.

[Kurovski]

91. She don't look happy.

Na-ah. :rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

79. Sadly, Itzhak Perlman, one of the world's greatest fiddlers, is performing for them.

And they just don't give a shit, obviously. ANY of them. They have NO INTEREST in his artistry, nor do they give a shit how incredibly fortunate they are to be able to hear such a gifted artist LIVE. I saw Perlman when I was a kid in the late 60s, when he was a rising star in the classical world, performing with the local symphony.

I was in excellent school & amateur orchestras for many years (violin), and there is nothing more disheartening to any musician than a bored, unresponsive audience.

And there are people that say that Itzy's gotten to the age where he's just "phoning it in". I would not blame him for playing on automatic, for this bunch.

No interest in culture whatever in that crowd.

Typical Texas oil money -- no class, no education, but sometimes will throw large amounts of money at the symphony or the museum.

[calimary]

93. laura has the facial expression of someone who's had to sit there

and smell her husband's farts just one time too often.

lynne cheney looks like she's trying to cozy up to Prince Phillip, just so she can gossip to her girlfriends later on about how they were thisclose - actually almost cuddling together - oh, he was so sweet!!! Probably gleaning for material for her next soft porn novel. bush looks like he's had too much to drink and would rather be A) not there or B) sitting with contradicta. And Her Majesty looks as though she'd rather be anywhere else than there with those boors.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. Who's the skinny chick dressed like a penguin? n/t

[hlthe2b]

7. that's Elizabeth H. --the resident Freeper on the View.

[Stephanie]

13. The wingnut from The View

whatshername

[SoCalDem]

22. That's an upside-down toilet on her shoulders

The a'la commode look by Oscar de la Oy Vey !

[AlCzervik]

49. ***snort***

[hlthe2b]

5. Last pic...

Pickles thinking: "where the hell is MY TIARA!" :rofl:

[Warpy]

8. I hate to say it, but Elizabeth Hasselboob

is the only one who looks appropriately dressed. The rest are vying for a Hollywood runway.

Kissinger's trophy tart looks downright malevolent in that thing.

[hlthe2b]

15. Yes.... I have to admit the retro look with the little short cape

thingie is sort of interesting looking. (though it pains me to compliment Ms. Freeper)

But, the look is definitely Jackie Kennedy. Did that OCCUR to her? LOL

[Bake]

35. Looks like a nun to me.

But my, isn't she PERKY!

:barf:

Bake

[ellacott]

25. David Gregory and his wife look good n/t

[Cabcere]

31. I thought so too. (n/t)

[MotorCityMan]

58. Gregory looks good

He reminds me of Tommy Tune in that pic and looks like he is going to start tap dancing.

[Captain Hilts]

30. Nancy K is not a "trophy tart." Sexist tripe. nt

[hlthe2b]

41. No, but the dress does have that Cruella DeVille look to it...

ya gotta admit! :shrug:

[Captain Hilts]

82. Yes, it does....nt

[soleft]

44. hubby's got more hair than his bro

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Was Nancy Reagan photoshopped?

Seriously. It looks like someone stuck her head on a smaller body.

[shain from kane]

17. They would have photoshopped St. Ronnie if they thought they could get away with it.

[BrotherBuzz]

37. That poor anorexic lady seriously needs to be force fed...

and until she gains a few pounds, her wardrobe manager needs to include shoulder pads. Perhaps Hasselbeck has a pair he can spare.

[Vinca]

66. Nancy's always resembled a stop sign with a giant head and

scrawny, little body.

[symbolman]

95. One of my pals

used to refer to her as "Bone Woman".. I laughed each time.

Looks like Satan has really had fun with her, wait until she's gone to join her evil hubby in the hereafter. Satan will rejoice, and Reagan will say, "Pill Lady! Pill Lady! More Pills!"

I hate those bastards, and that poor excuse for a female.

[shain from kane]

11. I see Condi's wearing her blood-stained dress.

[Stephanie]

16. I wish I could see her SHOES

Prolly from her Katrina shopping trip.

[Faux pas]

12. Nancy's head is so big, it looks like it was photo shopped. n/t

[hlthe2b]

18. She's really shrinking... probably horrible osteoporosis...

poor thing. She is nicely dressed as always, though. I'll give her that.

[Faux pas]

99. I've known a few people with osteoporosis and don't remember

their heads being out of proportion like that!

[Journeyman]

34. She's always had that look -- we used to call her the Walking PEZ Dispenser. . .

n/t

[Faux pas]

100. Never heard that expression before....LOL. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

39. years of plastic surgery, it starts to make you look odd after a while..n/t

[Faux pas]

101. Didn't think of that, could be. n/t

[mnhtnbb]

65. She's always had a head that was out of proportion to her body.

She made a visit to the hospital where I was working in Los Angeles in
the early 80's. She looked weird then, just like this picture.

[Faux pas]

102. I never had the 'pleasure' of seeing her in person. I'm thankful

for that.

[nonconformist]

94. That is exactly what I was thinking too. nt

[Faux pas]

103. It just looks too big to be real, but according to the people here

it's always been that way. That'll tell you how closely I looked at her during those 'wonderful' raygun years.

[AndyA]

21. David Gregory: I guess we know which side his toast is buttered on.

So much for objective reporting.

So much for accurate journalism.

So much for honesty.

So much for all the pseudo tough questions he's asked, no doubt approved in advance by KKKarl.

Helen Thomas and Keith Olbermann seem to be the only consistently accurate top journalists still left.

[ellacott]

42. His appearance is not a gauge for that

This event wasn't for Republicans only. Just because he can be around them doesn't mean he agrees with what they are doing. If that's the case where were the Fox people or any of the radio hosts. None of them were there. I think that's more telling than David Gregory's attendance.

Even Keith Olbermann said that he is personal friends with Tony Snow and they frequently email each other.

[AndyA]

54. I dunno, it all seems a bit too "convenient" for me.

I read that Pelosi and Reid were the only two Dems invited to the affair, and that Reid declined the invitation, leaving just Pelosi and her husband to represent the Democratic Party side of the spectrum.

[xultar]

69. Gregory has been gushing 4 Bushco like a school boy with his first playboy.

Ever since he got the invitation he has been more than happy to fawn over those fuckers.

[LeahD]

98. Anyone notice the cute little bows on his shoes??? Gag me. n/t

[americanstranger]

23. Not-Jenna looks wasted.

- as

[Demit]

24. And, of course, Not-Jenna looks just as loose and sleazy as ever.

[hlthe2b]

26. I see one of the twins (Barbara) in the next to last pic...

What's with the hair? She looks like she just jumped back up after a fast tryst in the Lincoln Bedroom... Oh, wait, (she probably did)

[JNelson6563]

81. Barbara (Anheiser) Bush

:toast:

[CottonBear]

27. I have to say that Ms. Rice looks very nice in red. David Gregory's wife's dress is gorgeous

I love the srtapless design, the fabric and the deep blue color. It really suits her. BTW, David is really tall.

Barbara Bush's hair leaves something to be desired. It's not a white tie-formal dinner do.

[Captain Hilts]

29. Agreed. Laura should have worn a dark blue version of Condi's dress...

rather than the one she wore. She looked like a huge after dinner mint.

[momster]

60. Laura's too short-waisted for this

They ran the sketch for the dress in the WaPo a couple of days ago and it was lovely. But the sketch showed someone more typically 'model-ish' in figure. If there had been a sash or a contrasting bodice, maybe it wouldn't have looked so dumpy.

[Captain Hilts]

84. They had a state dinner for the prez of India a few years back, and Laura..

looked great!

A deep kind of reddish orange dress, taffeta a bow on the bias and braclet length sleeves. She should get a whole wardrobe of that dress in different colors.

[hlthe2b]

32. Yes.. but don't you think Gregory's wife, though wearing a

beautiful dress for many occasions-- might have been a little more conservative for this event? I know, I know, we aren't here to cowtow to the Queen, but still. I think Condi is very appropriately dressed. Gregory's wife, less so.

[CottonBear]

50. Mnay royals wear strapless dresses. QEII did many times in her younger years.

Queen Silvia of Sweden and Queen Sonja of Norway both wear strapless dresses on ocassion. I think that the dress is super. She could have added a capelet, a stole or a pashima wrap to be taken off after srrival and seating.

I have to say that Ms. Rice has a very nice figure. I know that she works out regularly. It shows.

[Cleita]

53. I remember pictures of Princess Margaret, the Queen's sister,

in some really daring and cleavage revealing gowns in her younger days.

[CottonBear]

56. Princess Margaret was a great beauty in her youth and middle age.

[hlthe2b]

67. Wow... I had no idea...

Thanks for sharing.

[CottonBear]

70. You're welcome! I loved her Poltimore tiara. Super sparkly!

Another picture for you:



http://worldroots.com/gitte/royal/margretengland1930album.htm

[Sal Minella]

68. Thanks for the pix -- bottom photo is photog Anthony Armstrong-Jones, the man she married, after

giving up Captain Peter Townsend, the man she loved, when the royal family frowned on her relationship with a man who was divorced.

I was never a fan of the royals generally but I thought Margaret had a lot of class.

[CottonBear]

71. You're welcome. Yes, she loved Capt. Townsend but couldn't marry him. Sad.

A young princess Margaret:

[Sal Minella]

110. Do you remember a pic of Elizabeth and Margaret as little girls in or beside a pony cart,

with grandmama close by? I remember a shot like that being in LIFE magazine a million years ago. More or less. I have really enjoyed the photos you've posted, thank you so much.

[gaspee]

36. Can't you just hear...

the words "Let Them Eat Cake!"

Coming out of these people's mouths?

[Stephanie]

40. Absolutely. I think it's appalling.

I hate them all. They prance around like they're at the freaking OSCARS while kids are getting their limbs blown off in Iraq. It's disgusting.

[scorpiogirl]

45. Absolutely!

Should they even be spending money on something like this? Aren't we at war? They don't have any problems taking money away from social programs to foot the bill for the war, but apparently, there's plenty of money for a 'gala.' How is there money for this, but not for hunger, vets, etc? That's what really pisses me off! They probably paid for that with money borrowed from China!

Ok, rant off.

[Mind_your_head]

43. That table is set for 10, when it looks only big enough for 8

Everything looks all sqooshed together. (Note the 'fancy napkin folding' too)

[LordshipLadyship]

104. not appropriate

They might as well have given them mcdonald napkins. Could it have hurt them to fold the napkins into a shape? You're right about the table. Dead on. Plus that candlestick and flowers arrangement prevents people from seeing one another.Big mistake. For all the money they have, they have no sense of elegance. Jackie Kennedy, whatever you may think of her, would be spinning in her grave over the clothing and everything else, especially Pickles' 'gown'

Bush looks like he knows he doesn't belong there. Hell, he doesn't belong anywhere. Let's hope more people wake up to that.

Lynne cheney needs to be arrested by the fashion police.

[uppityperson]

46. Contrast that with this news, these fashion photos

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/IBO838182.htm

[Neecy]

47. our overlords are sooooooo bored

Check out the last photo - Lynne Cheney looks asleep and Bush is all pissy because he can't be blowing things up with his PlayStation.

Typical GOP response to culture - far too intellectual for these 'down home' types.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

96. That's not culture.

The whole ceremony was uppercrust elitist bullshit that the GOP embodies, not rejects.

[dancingme]

51. Not-Jenna's hair is not messed in this photo

[knitter4democracy]

52. How many glasses does each guest get?

The whole middle of the table is packed with glassware. The table really seems too full.

[LSparkle]

55. With a nod to "Sunset Boulevard" ... It's "The Waxworks" ...

ALL of them ... What a bunch of hot air ... I feel sorry for Her Majesty having to suffer through such a parade of mediocre boot-licking toadies ...

[Javaman]

59. What ain't in the closet and old, is weird and strange. nt

[LibDemAlways]

61. When did David Gregory marry

Monica Lewinsky? Am I the only one who sees a resemblance?

And where did Condi go to find a date? I can't imagine there are too many black guys looking for love on neocon match.com.

I'll bet at the end of the evening the Queen and Prince Phillip couldn't wait to take a good long soak and wash off all the evil they'd been exposed to. Everyone looks miserable in that last photo - except Lynne Cheney. She's wondering how she can lift the Prince's wristwatch.

[Generator]

62. Hasselbeck is wearing open toed shoes!

The HORROR. Is that super dress up wear? Maybe times have changed, but toes is a no no in my book. AND just how LOW is that cleavage on the Bush spawn's dress?

[Skidmore]

63. All that tax money they collect and they have people

sitting on top of each other to eat dinner. How many more people could they have fit at that table?

[Alexander]

72. Pickles looks more sour-faced than the Queen.

I didn't think that was possible.

[momster]

73. Yoda and the Romulan Ambassador

or Doctor and Mrs. Kissinger?

[spanone]

76. Where do you buy shit that ugly?

they don't have that stuff at local mall

[NoSheep]

77. They've got their's.

[Stephanie]

78. That's the Republican Creed.

"I've got mine. Fuck you."

[Supersedeas]

80. Gregory certainly has been getting the knod here lately....huh?

[Bucky]

83. "nod"

Or perhaps you were subconciously thinking of "knob"

[agincourt]

85. Ironic heh,

English royalty fights her nations wars and our "royalty" cavorts like pampered dogs. Jefferson twitches in his grave.

[havocmom]

87. Lynne Cheney's outfit wore her.

She sits down but that collar doesn't. She's goin for the Dick cheney no-neck-monster look.

[Jennicut]

89. I thought Barbara Bush was Posh Spice for a sec.

Out of all those pictures only David Gregory's wife looked nice. What was up with that green monstrosity that Lynne "wacked" Cheney wore. Hello? Do we look in a a mirror before we leave the house?

[Warren DeMontague]

92. That party needs Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddyshack"

like Nobody's Business.

[JI7]

97. who and how do they decide who to invite to these type of things ?

[Tatiana]

105. Hate to say it, but Condi was best (and most appropriately) dressed.

The red was a daring choice, but she pulls it off very well.

My Lord, Laura looks awful, and I don't just mean her apparel. I wonder if she is hitting the bottle as well.

[Norrin Radd]

106. Kissinger's wife is dressed like a Romulan. n/t

[Clark2008]

107. Laura always looks like she smells shit.

Why does she always have that expression on her face?

[momster]

109. An expression like that...

we used to say, "she looks like she's wearing a shit-corsage."

[Swamp Rat]

108. LOLOLOL!!!! .... What a FREAK show!

:rofl:
