At the White House today, Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended Saturday night’s “private” concert with Prince. Although rumors had surfaced about the concert, the White House was silent about the event that brought up to 500 people to the event and did not inform the press about it.

Shoes for the dead.

What chance does a returning deceased veteran have
for that new mule he’s been dreaming about...

Ah, those were the days when it all made sense.

Hey, “Prince” today. “Queen” tomorrow. The Clintons can swing every which way but loose.

Well if they paid 4 it on their own dime there will be a record of the payment to the Government from Obama then won’t there? Let’s see it!

500 guests, staff, food, drinks, entertainment and extra Secret Service and police Protection should be a bit of a cost.

If the white mosque wanted to keep it a secret why did it leak out? Rhetorical question. The great unwashed are to NEVER question what they do.

Really? So they paid for the electricity, the Secret Service details, all security apparatus, the cleaning of the area, everything?? Or did I as a taxpayer pay for all that crap?

I doubt they did this own their own dime. They are sponges; not the kind of people who would be standup.

They paid for all the extra security, power, food, all that? Blatant lies.

Ah, good old Commie Martyrs HS.
It served the Doomstown, Tri-cities area.

Interestingly, not a single moose was harmed
during shooting. Later after a few beers was
another story.

Bailioal Bros. pharmacy, the real one.

Hot buttered grubs and Tubs of Slaw.
Wow, give me two! Sorry only one per family.
And finish it off with a deep dish sheep dip
cherry stone pie.

Hey, the King must have his Fools and Jesters. I wonder if Prince got the thumbs up, and got to spend some time in the hot tub with Barry?

The party only cost them a dime, surely Hussein must have found one on the ground while he was constantly bowing.

While other people laughed at their Cheech & Chong albums, I sat back and enjoyed my Ersatz Bros. coffee with zest appeal.
