Hey, isn’t that . . . Crooner Tony Bennett in the House for the swearing-in of his longtime friend and soon-to-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi?
The 92-year-old musical legend turned heads in the halls of the Capitol as he approached Pelosi’s office, a spy tells us, wearing a Congress-spiffy suit and accompanied by a small group of friends. Later he was spotted among Pelosi’s guests in the speaker’s box above the House floor. Also on her guest list: fashion guru Tim Gunn and Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.
This isn’t the first rodeo for the “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” singer: He attended the California Dem’s first swearing-in as speaker back in 2007.(snip)
Bennett serenaded Pelosi with his famous ode to her district Wednesday night at an exclusive dinner at the Italian embassy with a guest list that included former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

No fool like an old fool.
He left his brain in San Francisco.
Looks like a young-ish Tommy Lee Jones behind him. Wonder who that is?
He heard there would be free applesauce... and I bet there was.
Tony Bennett is one of the very few WW II combat veterans left with us. He participated in heavy fighting as the Allies pushed into Germany in 1945. So yeah, I’ll give the old vet a complete pass here. He can do whatever he wants.
That’s Mickey Hart.
Never did like his singing. Now I like it even less.
Now he’s serving as a prop for democrats.
Looks too young/alive for a GD member.
He must attend Keith Richard’s yoga classes.
Tony Bennett, nė: Anthony Dominick Benedetto.
Another Johnny Fontane?
“He participated in heavy fighting as the Allies pushed into Germany in 1945.”

What choice did he have?
He HAS had choices for the past 70 years.

I don’t know which Italian crooner I despise more. This old fool or Sinatra and his fellatio of jfk
"...Tony Bennett..."
Probably her first words after being sworn in were “Where’s my G5 Gulf Stream so I can fly home to Califronia every weekend non-stop and where is my $100,000 a year liquor debit card?
Maybe he’ll reiterate how ‘Americans deserved the 9/11 attack’.
Total crud

I left my poop in San Francisco
Splat on a walk, it smells to me
...maybe he’ll pass on another STD..
Barf - “lookit me ... I’m ... I’m so popular and luved “
This whole thing has been a media PR circus as Democrats “take back” the house. (Of course when the GOP wins it’s the Dems lose the house) and, of course , we now only have one government - the house.
Ever notice how much he looks like Robert DeNero? Birds of a feather...
Harry Belefante couldn’t make it?
