Despite the fact that Clinton called for her resignation, Elders said that she harbors no harsh feelings for him. “I think Bill Clinton is probably the smartest person that I’ve met, and I feel certain that he’s the best politician this country has seen in a long time.”

That's a nightmare re-visited. That cabinet was an insult to the American people.

M, can you confirm if Michael Moore got an invite to the WH Press Dinner? If he did, who invited him? Helen? Terry Moron? Campbell Brown?

This was in Page Six this a.m.:

Cyber-columnist Matt Drudge reported that several media outlets were considering an invite to director Michael Moore, who shocked everyone with his rabid anti-Bush speech at the Academy Awards, bleating, "Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you."

But no one would fess up yesterday to harboring such a scheme. And Drudge quoted an unnamed White House source as saying it would be a very bad idea: "It will sour the entire evening. He [Moore] will grandstand, he cannot help himself. He'll hold a press conference outside of the hotel."

Bloomberg L.P. spokesperson Chris Taylor, whose company throws a big after-party at the Russian Trade Federation, tells us it doesn't plan to invite Moore, but it does have an interesting line-up that includes Richard Branson, Drew Carey, Jason Priestly, Bo Derek, Mariska Hargitay and Christie Brinkley.

Meanwhile, People magazine has asked pop star Paula Abdul to sit at its table, while CNBC is hosting Tina Brown and Harry Evans.

But it will be up to a liberal news outlet to cause a real stir by inviting a bona-fide Bush-basher like Janeane Garofalo, Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Crow, Sean Penn, or Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks.
