Are Ashleigh Banfield's wedding guests wondering if she'll actually walk down the aisle this time? The famously bespectacled ex-MSNBC and NBC correspondent, whose contract wasn't renewed, has announced July 24 nuptials to former Bloomberg sales exec Howard Gould. She has posted two lavish gift registries online with Crate & Barrel and Tiffany & Co.
Yet with only weeks to go, invitees have purchased only five of the nearly 100 items she's requested. Let's get on the stick, people! You can still buy the happy couple - from Tiffany - a $4,000 silver pitcher, a $3,000 Becker vase and a $2,500 antique ice bucket. There's also that George IV silver tray, up for grabs at $10,500. rest of story
They may not be able to get Dubya to eat a grubworm, but wags at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are determined to vote him off the White House island.
On Thursday, the DCCC will launch "Republican Survivor" - a series of six online cartoons featuring their favorite GOP hate objects. In the online trailer, a naked Vice President Cheney frolics at an undisclosed beach location, Attorney General John Ashcroft covers the breasts of a tribal statue and President Bush stabs himself in the foot with his hunting knife.
A spokeswoman from the Republican National Committee scoffed to us: "This cartoon clearly shows that anger has taken the place of an agenda for the Democratic party, and that is exactly why President Bush and other Republicans will be the ultimate survivors in November."

Gift registries really tell you a lot about the couple.
The gall to ask for a $10,500 serving tray when an $8000 will do just fine.
