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.

That experience so effected him that he became a pacifist. And so I think he naturally gravitates towards the political party that seems to be the most “peaceful”.

Then why isn't he supporting President Trump, who wants us out of the endless, pointless wars we are fighting in Syria, Afghanistan, etc.?

I think she will end up like Harry Reid but when she is on on death’s bed I’ll bet she will have a bunch of Catholic bigwigs waving their hands over her and telling her she will go straight to Heaven in spite of being pro-choice big time.

Tony is very overrated as a singer.

He looks surprisingly good for 92 years old. No accounting for his taste in friends, tho.
