So, while Whittington lies in the hospital, Bushes dance on marble floors
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/14/bush.valentines.ap/index.html

Bushes host ritzy Valentine's soiree
Singer Michael Feinstein laughs after President Bush says he won't dance in front of the cameras Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Some women get flowers, others jewelry. This year, first lady Laura Bush got a formal dinner and an intimate concert by a well-known crooner from her valentine.

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.

Gee...why am I not surprised at joementum's attendance?

8. in fairness to musicians, a gig is a gig.
if he got paid, he'd be there. Ask any professional musician.

4. Mmmm. Wow. I'd have thought the king of photo-ops
would have LEAPT at the chance to have pictures taken at Whittington's bedside. You know, to show the world everything's hunky-dory! Which one of us should suggest it to him?

:hi:

6. not likely to happen. my guess is poor whittington's face looks like
hamburger or worse.
I'm guessing, if he passes, we NEVER get to see his injuries, or if he recovers, we don't until the plastic surgery.

10. Yes. You KNOW it's bad if it's something a little Photoshop
airbrushing couldn't handle, too.

11. And show off his scar from his battle with that brush on his pig farm.
Oh wait, he reserves that photo op for visits with wounded soldiers.

18. Sad isn't it? Pinhead** and his over-inflated ego, making everything
about him. What a disgusting waste of space he is.

14. Aw, you beat me to that one!
Junior missed his chance to show off his "war wound." But that display is reserved for soldiers who are recent amputees or burn victims. :eyes:

20. I hear you loud & clear.
Call me a tinfoil hatter, but the fact that we have heard not one word, not one utterance from his mouth, not one clue, makes me think he might be. The WH had better hurry up and think of a story, FAST, right?

17. He'll be joking about "Whitty" at some fundraiser no doubt.
"I'll tell ya, we got a sayin' down here in Texas about not bein' a real man 'til you got yerself a faceful o' buckshot. Yuk Yuk Yuk. Get well Whitty - and thanks for takin' one for the team."

21. Wow, Michael Feinstein, Chuck Norris,
and Wayne Newton - what a star-studded gathering. And Alito, McConnell, and Lieberman, too. And the chimp and pickles! Sounds more like a gathering of ghouls on Halloween, but what do I know.
