Vice President Al Gore's former running mate shrugged off party politics the other night at a Waldorf gala when he introduced Republican Sen. John McCain as "the next President of the United States."
Lest anyone take him too seriously, Lieberman also introduced McCain at the Partnership for Public Service benefit as "the next chief rabbi of Israel." An appreciative McCain hailed his colleague as "the most honest person in the Senate."
How are Parisians supposed to know who Oprah is?
Clerks at the Paris Hermes store must be kicking themselves. Page Six reports that employees of the pricey boutique in France refused to let mega-mogul Oprah Winfrey inside because they did not recognize her at the time. A spy who witnessed Oprah's dismissal said, "Oprah didn't have her hair done. When she tried the door, they refused her entry because they have been 'having a problem with North Africans' lately' and obviously had no clue who she was." Because of the slight, Hermes should not expect their infamous Kelly bag to be featured as one of Oprah's "favorite things" in her yearly Christmas episode.
