A White House “Alice in Wonderland” costume ball — put on by Johnny Depp and Hollywood director Tim Burton — proved to be a Mad-as-a-Hatter idea that was never made public for fear of a political backlash during hard economic times, according to a new tell-all.

...It was so over the top that “Star Wars” creator George Lucas sent the original Chewbacca to mingle with invited guests.

...the State Dining Room had also been transformed into a secretive White House Wonderland.

...“Fruit punch was served in blood vials at the bar. Burton’s own Mad Hatter, the actor Johnny Depp, presided over the scene in full costume, standing up on a table to welcome everyone in character.”

The Obamas’ daughters, Malia and Sasha, then 11 and 8 respectively, “sat at the table, surrounded by a gaggle of their friends, and then proceeded to the next delight, a magic show in the East Room.”

And America's leftwing media dutifully kept the secret of their "Dearest Leader" since 2009. They did so to such an extent that in searching online for actual photos (not current photoshop simulations) of the event, I could only find them on a Russian website. See below from LINK.

The leftwing media of America has brought this country to a state were it is now Americans who must search for the truth beyond the lies of their Regime in Russia. How tragic is that reversal?

I thought they were pictures of a Cabinet meeting.

If the Obamas want to throw lavishly expensive Roman orgies to match their jaded hubris, fine—JUST DON'T TELL THE REST OF US TO “SACRIFICE” YOU PERFIDIOUS HYPOCRITES!!!

[COBOL2Java]

Did Michelle go as the Jabberwocky?

[DeaconRed]

Spending OUR money like it's water.

“Let them eat cake.”

What a shame Kim Jong Il croaked last month, he would have loved to attend
one more secret and exclusive par-tay while the 'little people' continue to
reside in government-sanctioned ignorance. All hail the Dear TOTUS!

[weldAllday]

Um, only when they pay for it.

Looks like Janet Reno’s family reunion.

Seriously, can anyone imagine any of the Bushs or Reagans behaving like this?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Why did Lucas send Chewbacca?

Michelle needed a date?

[hal ogen]

These grifters have no shame.

“Your wife's a big fat hairy bigfoot, Gus!”

[ryan71]

Big deal.

This is no more fairytailish than any other day in today's White House.

[jersey117]

Did he dress up like a middle class warrior.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Freak Show!!

Alice in Wonderland?

Looks far more like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[KC_Conspirator]

Lol.

Although to be honest, why did Lucas send Chewbacca? The White House already has a wookie.

[mewzilla]

I've got a question. The WaPo is the rag of record in that neck of the woods. If the paper has a society section/page/column, did news of this swank soiree appear in the paper....?

[formosa]

LOL it’s funny when being a wookie improves they way you look.
