This is just meant for a little giggle, not to be taken too seriously.

1. I'd back out and shut this down now

...if I were you, which I'm not.

[edhopper]

3. Why

embarrassing moments for celebrities. What's wrong with it.

[blogslut]

5. Oh, dear.

Oh dear, oh my.

[edhopper]

6. I really don't see why you have a problem

are you perceiving some racism, just because Davis was black? It has nothing to do with that, why would it? Stern isn't black, it's about celebrities and corrupt politicians.

[blogslut]

9. Okay.

I've been up all night and my mind is fried. Maybe it's me that needs to back out. I just think it's a really bad analogy.

2. Davis. Sammy Davis.

[edhopper]

4. fixed.

it was a typo.

[HappyMe]

7. Howard Stern is a no talent asshole.

Other than that, what's the point?

[edhopper]

10. Celebrities

embracing corrupt politicians.
Hopefully Sammy regretted it.
Don't know if Stern will.

[HappyMe]

14. I don't care if Stern regrets it.

Down thread somebody posted about Sammy Davis Jr getting an economic appointment from Nixon.

I'm a Rat Pack fan, so I don't care who Davis hugged.

[edhopper]

15. I am too

and it's sad that Sinatra, liberal and big time Kennedy supporter turned to the GOP and especially Nixon.
Davis accepting a PR appointment is more the shame.

[HappyMe]

17. If I love somebody's singing or

whatever, I don't let politics ruin my enjoyment of it.

[edhopper]

18. Same here (within limits)

and while I thought this whole episode embarrassing for the Rat Pack, I didn't stop enjoying their performances.
I just thought it was a little funny and a shout back to us oldsters who remember.
Not meant as a big deal.

8. maybe Nixon needed a hug

i think it's a fair deal, Nixon is force from office but he gets a hug from Sammy Davis Jr. Investigate the hell out of Christie, impeach him, whatever, but he gets to go to Howard Stern's birthday party.

[jakeXT]

11. There is a lot to hug

[edhopper]

16. Yes

do you think Obama would do this now, with what we know. As Stern has just done.

[Brother Buzz]

12. Nixon had just appointed Sammy Davis Jr. to his National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity

And that's a good thing



I assume the 'hug' photo was taken at the following reception and Sammy had let his hair down. Moody Richard is still wearing the same bad tie.

13. ..

haha

19. Not sure what you are getting at.

One of the four men in your pictures had integrity.

20. You had to be there.
