Good morning, jonny. I couldn't wait to get to my computer this AM to let you know about Constantine showing up at the dinner -- glad you noticed before I could, though.
I happened to record the C-SPAN pre-event coverage, and I nearly fell off my chair when Lt. Dan showed up on the red carpet! He looked as scuzzy as ever. Still doesn't look like he bathed. They didn't say who he was with. These events are by invitation only, and no one could have known until last Wednesday that he wouldn't still be on the show in Los Angeles.
So how did he score a last-minute invite? The only thing that makes sense to me is that someone on the FOX contingent who was already going invited Constantine for the extra bit of publicity it would generate for AI. It worked, too, because Cedric the Entertainer, who was the headline act of the evening (not counting the First Lady and GWB), mentioned Constantine's presence in the audience during his comedy routine.
Constantine is already coming up in the world!
I told ya so!!
(And please stop equating not shaving with not bathing! I don't think all those pretty girls on AI would want to get so close to him if he smelled bad).
